[Stage Direction]
(Questions answered orally are indicated by an asterisk.)

Mr. MARCIL (Bonaventure) :: 1.	Has the attention of the Government been called to the following recommendation made by the Quebec Board of Trade to the chairman and members of the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada, on February 3rd, 1921:
"We would also ask your commission to lend its influence in favour of the effort now being made by the Quebec Board of Trade, to remedy the painful situation in which the large population of the GaspO peninsula-nearly 80,000

now find themselves owing to defective railway service and the absence of cold storage and refrigerator car service, needed to give their fisheries, which for two centuries have been amongst the most important in the world, an opportunity to furnish the cheap food of fresh fish to Canadian cities, and at the same time the fisherman of GaspS coast a fair price for his catch. He now gets one-fifth of the price earned by the fishermen at Prince Rupert, who has these facilities. Our suggestion is that the Dominion Government should take over the 200 miles of railway from Mata-pfdia to GaspO, which runs for its entire length within sight of the fishing boat, and make it part of the Government Railway System."
2.	If so, is it the intention of the Government to take any action?

5.	If so, what will be the said rate?


Charles Joseph Doherty: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The rate paid to rural mail carriers throughout the Dominion is decided by the system of public tendering. On account of varied conditions such as scarcity or abundance of labour, state of roads, cost of horse feed, etc., in the different localities, the adoption of a fixed rate per mile would be unsatisfactory, unfair and impracticable. There being no uniformity in the rates paid, any figures regarding average rates for the whole Dominion or

[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

Mr. C. G. POWER moved:: That, in the opinion of this House, the ancient walls and fortifications of the city of Quebec, having for all military purposes become obsolete, it is expedient in order to better preserve these valuable heirlooms as a historical monument for future generations, that their upkeep and control be now vested in the National Battlefields Commission.
He said: Mr. Speaker, this motion came up for discussion on a previous occasion when the Minister of Militia (Mr. Guthrie) stated that he would have an investigation made by his officers into the practicability of carrying out this proposition. In a few words the situation is that the walls and fortifications of Quebec are rapidly crumbling away; that it would require a considerable sum of money to keep them in a fit and proper condition; and that-I think this is generally admitted-they no longer serve useful pur-

pose in so far as military necessities are concerned. I think it is universally recognized that in these days of high power artillery, and other implements of warfare which we now have, the walls of any fortified town, however well protected, cannot resist for any great length of time, so that for military purposes these defences have become obsolete. On the other hand, the associations connected with the walls and fortifications of Quebec, and with the city of Quebec itself, are such that, to my mind, and I think most hon. members will agree with me, it would be a pity to see these monuments of our country's glorious past disappear. It should be our duty, in order to promote a true Canadian spirit to encourage so far as possible a reverence and admiration for the memory of those of our forefathers who have accomplished much on this continent to make Canada the nation which it is and to enable it to reach that higher status to which we hope it will attain. These are the considerations which have permitted me to once more place this motion on the Order Paper. I may say that the proposition has been received by the newspapers of Quebec city and elsewhere, with considerable approval. It is not a matter in which politics intervene, for Conservative and Liberal journals alike have given the project their blessing. The different public bodies in the city of Quebec have also, I understand, on several occasions passed resolutions favouring it. I do not know that there is any more to add except that if the Minister jf Militia has not had time on account of his numerous occupations to look into this matter since March 16th, I think it was, last year, when the resolution was first debated, I would like him to give this subject very serious consideration during the coming year. Should he transfer the cost of the upkeep of these walls and fortifications to an independent body such as the National Battlefields Commission he will undoubtedly relieve his department of a burden which should not belong to it and which, from a military standpoint, does not make for the efficiency of our defences in Canada.


Hon. HUGH GUTHRIE (Minister of Militia):: The House will well remember the occasion last year on which my hon. friend brought this matter to its attention and the very excellent address which he delivered at that time.

I remember, too, in replying to my hon. friend upon that occasion I intimated that inquiry would be made into all questions pertaining to the ancient walls and fortifications of the city of Quebec to see if it were possible to meet the suggestions contained in his motion, which was to the effect that the Government should hand over these ancient walls and fortifications to the Battlefields Commission-a Commission which was established a number of years ago and which still continues to function.
During last summer I had the pleasure of looking over those fortifications myself, and I instructed an engineer of the department of Militia and Defence to examine them and report thereon. According to that report I may inform the House that it would not be considered proper, at the present time at all events, to transfer the whole of these walls or structures to the Battlefields Commission. Some parts of the fortifications are still in use, and will continue to be in use by the Department of Militia for a long time to come. There are portions of the fortifications which are not used, and which I agree with my hon. friend are rapidly falling into decay, and considerable expenditure will have to he made at some time in the near future if these walls are to be preserved in their ancient grandeur and strength. Moderate expenditure might be made from time to time which would probably maintain them in a condition suitable for their historical value and associations, but to rebuild them would involve, according to my information, a very large amount of money.
I think I might give the House also a brief report in regard to those portions of the walls which should be handed over to the Battlefileds Commission, and as to those portions which, in the opinion of the engineers of the Militia Department, it would be necessary to retain for the use of the department. For this purpose the walls have been divided into sections, and those familiar with the city of Quebec will readily locate the various portions from the description which I shall now give to the House.
Section 1 is described as a section from Mountain Hill to the intersection of Des Ramparts and Canoterie streets. It consists only of the walls at the top of the cliff and a very narrow strip of ground adjoining the street. This portion is not used for military purposes and might be handed over.

Section 2 runs from the above point to the foot of Palace Hill comprising the walls and face of the cliff. This section is of no use for military purposes and might also be handed over. The property at the foot of the cliff and fronting on Canoterie and St Valier streets is now being valued by the department of Public Works with a view to offering it for sale.
Sections 3 and 4 comprise the Dominion Arsenal site. They form the northern and western enclssures of that site, which is used for ordnance and other military purposes, and possession of these portions should be retained.
Section 5 runs from St John's Gate to St Louis Gate. It consists of rampart walls and the St. John, Kent and St. Louis Gates. It is of no use for military purposes and might also be handed over.
Section 6 comprises that portion from St Louis Gate to the face of the cliff. This section is of no use from a defence point of view. It comprises the walls enclosing the ditch of the Citadel. The Citadel itself, consisting of casemates and buildings, is used for housing the garrison and should be retained; but section 6 might be handed over to the Battlefields Commission, if desired.
Section 7 consists of the ramparts along the face of the cliff to the southeast corner of the Citadel. It forms part of the walls of the buildings of the Citadel, and should be retained.
Section 8 is a section running from the southeast corner of the Citadel to the present site of the Post Office. It consists of the wall facing the Terrace, which is already le.ased to the city of Quebec. This section is not used by the Department of Militia and Defence and might be handed over to the Battlefields Commission.
To recapitulate, I might say that of the sections I have enumerated, sections 1, 2, 5 and 8 might be handed over to the Battlefields Commission if the House so decides; sections 3, 4 and 7 should be retained for the purposes of the department; and section 6 might also be handed over if there is any special reason for such action.
The question of cost is something that the House will have to deal with. As hon. members are aware, we make an annual grant to the National Battlefields Commission. The grant in the Estimates this year for the purposes of that commission amounts in all to about $51,600. It will be found at page 62 of the Estimates. If the work of repairing these walls
is undertaken, a considerable amount of money will have to be provided.


Mr. VIEN:: Will the minister allow me
a question? Is there any item in the Estimates this year for the upkeep of the walls?


Hugh Guthrie: No, there is no specific item in the Estimates of the Department of Militia and Defence, nor in the general Estimates for the upkeep of these walls. Any repairs that have been made from time to time have been defrayed out of a vote for the department under the heading of "Engineers' Services". But as time goes on more extensive repairs will be needed.
I have asked the officers of the department to prepare a scheme and as nearly as possible to estimate the annual cost of the upkeep of this property. As soon as that is available I shall lay it before the House, and then I think the time will have come for some definite action to be taken in regard to these ancient walls and fortifications.


Mr. MOWAT:: Mr. Speaker, in connection with this motion, I desire to bring before the House something which is so cognate to the subject under discussion that I am sure you will not consider it out of order. I refer to improvements or repairs to the fortifications of the most ancient of upper Ontario's forts-those at Kingston.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I am afraid the hon.
member would be distinctly out of order in discussing the fortifications at Kingston, because this is a specific resolution having to do wth the fortifications in the city of Quebec. The rules are very clear that under these circumstances the debate must be restricted rigorously to the specific subject before the House. Therefore, I do not think the hon. member would be in order.


Hon. S. C. MEWBURN (East Hamilton) :: Mr. Speaker, many of the remarks
of the hon. member for South Quebec (Mr. Power) have my entire sympathy. I have felt for some time, particularly when I was occupying the position of Minister of Militia, that unless the fortifications of the Citadel of Quebec are put in repair at an early date the walls will entirely crumble away. I think it will be a lasting disgrace to this country if those walls and fortifications are not preserved for future generations. The hon. member spoke of the glorious past. Well, I think we might also consider the glorious future of this country. I feel, as I felt at that time, that

something should be done along the lines of the resolution by handing this property over to the National Battlefields Commission. I also realize that a considerable portion of that property is required for military purposes. If the country is in a position to build other barracks or accommodation for military purposes in the city of Quebec, then, indeed, the whole property might with wisdom be handed over. But having regard to the statement made by the Minister of Militia, I am satisfied that the hon. member for Quebec South will view the situation in the same light and will feel that the purpose of his motion will be met when the minister brings down the report to which he has referred.


Thomas Vien: Mr. Speaker, I wish to express my gratification at hearing the very comprehensive statement that the Minister of Militia (Mr. Guthrie) has just made to the House. The arrangement that he has proposed would seem to meet the military requirements, and, at the same time, the necessity of maintaining this beautiful landmark as an historic monument for future generations. It is the custom in the older countries of Europe, such as England and France, to preserve such historic landmarks, not only on account of their beauty as architectural monuments, but also as a lesson in history to present and future generations. There are few landmarks which are so instructive or so capable of giving inspiration to the people of our country as those which are the subject of this debate. It is true that we have the fortifications of Kingston and others of Ontario, and also the Citadel at Halifax. These military works at Halifax, Quebec and Kingston should, to my mind, be preserved as a lesson to present and future generations. The best arrangement, I think, would be to transfer to the Battlefields Commission those sections which are not used for military purposes and keep under the department, as suggested by the minister, those that are used. I am sure that the House will vote, and the country will appreciate, any expenditure which may be necessary for the upkeep of these military works, which will be of such value to coming generations.


Georges Parent: Mr. Speaker, I have just one word to add to the very interesting remarks which have just been made by the member for Lotbiniere (Mr. Vien). The upkeep of the walls of the city of Quebec is a matter of interest to us all, especially to those who happen 
to represent the constitutency in which they are located. In this connection it might not be out of place to direct the attention of the House to what a former Governor General of Canada, Earl Grey, did for the city of Quebec when he created what we call the Battlefields Park. Earl Grey took an interest not only in the Battlefields, but also in the walls of the city; he made certain improvements in those walls which are much admired by tourists. If it was the object of Earl Grey to emphasize the fact that these walls should be preserved for future generations, he went far toward accomplishing that object, and those who follow in his footsteps will be acting wisely indeed.


Charles Gavan Power: Mr. Speaker-


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: The hon. member has the right to reply, and I must call the attention of the House to the circumstance that the debate is closed if he does so.


Charles Gavan Power: Mr. Speaker, I wish to
thank the Minister of Militia (Mr. Guthrie) for the evidence which he has given us of the interest which he takes in matters affecting his department as brought before the House by private members. I wish also to apologize to him and to the House for my somewhat premature suspicions regarding the work which he accomplished during the recess in this connection. I had thought that this ministerial promise had met the usual fate and that the work had been neglected. I may say that the minister has astonished as well as pleased me by the able and intelligent report which he has brought down. The report shows that the officers of his department have really done some work; that they have taken into consideration the claims made by members on this side and have studied the question thoroughly. The report seems to be very complete, and I assure the minister that the citizens of Quebec will be grateful to him that he has done good work for his country, and-what is, perhaps, more important to him-that his department will be materially benefited thereby.
I suppose that the best I can do under the circumstances is to accept the report and the explanations given by the minister -which I consider to be sufficient-and ask leave to withdraw my motion.
Motion withdrawn.



THE CASE OF W. H. TAPLEY

Mr. P. F. CASGRAIN (Charlevoix-Mont-morency) moved:: That, in the opinion of this House, the Governor in Council should cancel the privileges extended to one W. H. Tapley of Montreal, under the provisions of the Ticket of Leave Act, and that he should be re-arrested and sent back to the penitentiary to finish the term of the sentence imposed upon him in the best interests of justice and the community.
He said: Mr. Speaker, last year, on the 5th of May I moved in this House a resolution calling for the production of copies of letters, telegrams, documents and correspondence in reference to the release from the penitentiary of one W. H. Tapley and one E. L. Baugh. At that time the hon. Minister of Justice (Mr. Doherty) replied in this way:
It is impossible to assent to the passing of this resolution. It is very well recognized in the House that correspondence with regard to applications for tickets of leave is of a confidential nature and is not to be brought down. There are numerous instances in which the matter has been brought up, and the last time I recollect its being discussed was in 1913, when the subject was discussed on both sides of the House, and when the late Right- Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier entirely concurred in the view that these papers were not of a. kind that ought to be ordered to be brought down.
The motion was dropped at that time. As you will see, Mr. Speaker, in a certain way I was balked and prevented from obtaining certain information under the assumption that this was the practice in years past. I have no intention of discussing the practice at that time. There may have been different circumstances, on account of which our late and revered leader thought that at that time, in 1913, it was not proper to put before the House certain correspondence in connection with release under the Ticket of Leave Act. If I present this resolution to-day, it is not that I have any ill-feeling or grudge or something personal against this Mr. Tapley of Montreal, and indeed, I might say that I have none against anyone. I am presenting this resolution in order to bring before the House the circumstances which at present obtain in regard to this matter. Mr. Tapley is very well known in the city of Montreal and the whole district as a usurer and money lender. For years past, before he was convicted and sent to the penitentiary, he was extorting money, against the law known as the Money Lenders' Act, from different persons at exorbitant rates of interest, running as high as 120 per cent, if not more in certain cases. What happened was this. One day in 1914, Mr. Tapley was arrested, and after trial before the Court of Kings bench, he was found guilty of rape and incest upon Lorita Tapley, his daughter, and he was sent to the penitentiary for a
term of thirty years, being sentenced by Judge Lavergne on March 25, 1914. Since that time, I might say that many people have been at peace and liberty in Montreal. Last year, however, about the month of February or March, this gentleman appeared in Montreal after having obtained his conditional release under the provisions of the Ticket of Leave Act. Since that time, he has endeavoured to revive all the old judgments standing in his favour against different persons in our city, and lately there appeared editorials in regard to the matter in the press, especially in the Montreal Star, which, by the way, is a good paper-sometimes I agree with it, and most of the-time I do not agree with it, but in this case, I think the campaign in that paper was a good one. In different editorials which appeared in the Montreal Star from the end of December to the middle of January, facts were presented to the public which I and some other people in Montreal though ought to be brought to the attention of the House. In the Montreal Star of 23rd December, 1920, the following heading appears:
Montreal shark puts the screws on.
And there follows a compendium of a judgment of the Circuit Court of the city and district of Montreal from which we see that this man, on a judgment for $20 obtained interest at the rate of 120 per cent per annum and five per cent per annum on $79.80. This case, I might say, was handled on behalf of the defendant by one of the friends of the Minister of Justice, Mr. Frank Curran, K.C., of the city of Montreal, who is one of the eminent members of our Bar. This gentleman proposes to discuss this case when it comes up in Court for trial and to try to have the provisions of the Money Lenders' Act applied in reducing the rate of interest charged by Mr. Tapley. Later, on the 3rd January, 1921, some more facts were brought out by the Montreal Star to the public at large under the heading-I will not read the whole article; I shall be satisfied with quoting the headlines:
Three more relate their experiences with Tapley-all cases based on ancient judgments and seek 120 per cent interest.
On January 4, 1921, other facts were brought to the knowledge of the public, one statement being that:
They had fallen behind in their rent and the landlord was already in Tapley's clutches. Cost them great deal to get out.
On January 5, 1921, this heading appeared:

When court was kind to Tapley he revived old game.
At the time Tapley came out, the civil authorities lifted the interdict which took away his civil rights, and he immediately started his old game and practice. On January^, 1921, we have another editorial in the Montreal Star dealing at length with the judgments he has, amounting to over $40,000 and it states:
All of them are alive and he may proceed to collect. Has been inactive for a week now. A typical Tapley move.
On January 11, 1921, we have an explanation of a case where a loan of $20 grew to $350 thanks to the ways and methods of Mr. Tapley in doing business with different people to whom he had lent money. On January 11 there is another article reporting an interview which a representative of the press had with Mr. Tapley, and in which he said that he did not care an iota-I will not use the other expression, which is more vulgar-for anybody or any court; that he would go on and do as he used to do before, and that he had, while working in a bank, learned how to gauge borrowers. I have received numerous letters from different people in Montreal who have been unfortunate enough to deal with this man. I had many cases to defend against this man a few years ago, and I had given an interview in a newspaper regarding this case. I received one letter which I think it might be of interest to read to the House because it deals with this matter and, in a certain way, with the popularity of certain members of the Government:
Montreal, January 17, 21.
P. F. Casgrain, K.C., M.P.,
Sir: C. J. Doherty-
I would like to put the prefix "Right Hon." but the letter does not bear it.
-C. J. Doherty arrived at G.T.R. station, morning, so popular that not a soul was there to meet him. This is the weakling you want to get after. Leave no stone unturned until
you make him tell how he let that 

 Tapley
out.
I will not use the qualifying expression.
Mr. Casgrain, you are the only man who has the courage in the House of Commons to make him answer you and the public. Every one of us owe you a debt of gratitude for the able way you are handling this case.- Keep right at it, Sir. Don't take no for an answer.
And the letter says:
Make this four-flusher answer you.
I will not say that.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Order.


Pierre-François Casgrain: I said, I will not say it.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I would draw the hon. members' attention to the circumstance that he cannot read from any letter or document any reference in respect to a minister or a member of this House which he could not say as a member, and I hope he will be very guarded in reading states ments reflecting on any member.


Pierre-François Casgrain: I bow to your ruling. The letter goes on to say that it wishes me success and hopes that I will obtain a favourable answer, and it is signed by I. B. Hamilton. Section 12 of chapter 150 of the Statutes of Canada, 1906, the Act which deals with the conditional release of prisoners, or the Ticket of Leave Act, states that under certain circumstances, when a person, who has been released under ticket of leave, obtains his living and acts and does certain things by means which are dishonest-I have not the correct translation in English here; I have the French version in which paragraph (b) reads:
(b) qui lui paratt se procurer sa sutosistance par des moyens malhonnetes.
It may be that the means which this gentleman is taking to obtain his living are legal in a certain way if he can get away with it, but the question is as to the honesty of his methods, and I humbly submit that when such facts as I have brought before the House to-day are known to the minister, he will surely see to it that my motion is granted, or at least that a proper explanation is given to this House and to the people at large if there was any real excuse or reason for letting this man out of jail after having served only a few years of his sentence.


Hugh Guthrie: Mr. Speaker, in reply to the
hon. member (Mr. Casgrain) who has brought this matter to the attention of the House, may I be permitted to say at the outset that it is my duty to absolve the Minister of Justice (Mr. Doherty) from all knowledge and responsibility in connection with the matter? As a matter of fact, I think that the Minister of Justice was not in Canada at the time action was decided upon in connection with this case. My hon. friend who has moved the motion is fully aware of the practice which has obtained in this Parliament, I suppose I am safe in saying, since the days of Confederation down to the present time, namely, that

documents are not laid before Parliament relating to criminal cases where clemency is sought, or in cases where clemency has been exercised by the Crown. It has been stated, and I believe the statement is accurate, that only in three cases since Confederation- very important and outstanding cases-has Parliament seen fit to order that papers be produced. The reports made in connection with such cases are of a highly confidential nature. If they were not treated with the strictest confidence it is very doubtful whether reports could be obtained in many instances.
Now, in the particular case under consideration, representations were made that cast very serious doubt upon this man's guilt in connection with the charge upon which he was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of thirty years. The crime was a most revolting and abominable one. Certain public bodies in the city of Montreal took action in the matter, among others the Salvation Army, which, I suppose, was the most active of the participants in this case. The man's two sons, who had served nobly in France, one of them wounded, and the other coming back without a leg, on their return to Canada also took a deep interest in the case. The chief witness, in fact the only witness in the case, absolutely withdrew the whole evidence given at the trial upon which the man was convicted. This evidence was withdrawn in a sworn statement by the only witness in the prosecution. Explanations were given as to why the original evidence had been given in the prosecution against this man, and one very prominent body in Montreal, as I have said, the Salvation Army, went fully into the matter, making an elaborate report, and the officers of the department likewise investigated the case as exhaustively as possible, with the result that there is very grave doubt as to whether the man was actually guilty of the crime with which he had been charged. He had served, including remission earned under our law, some seven years of his term in penitentiary, a very substantial period. His conduct had been good, grave doubt existed as to his guilt and under all the circumstances it was considered a proper case in which to make a recommendation to his Excellency the Governor General, that he be granted a ticket of leave-not that he be free, but that he be permitted to serve the rest of his sentence under the ticket of leave system, which imposes upon him very strict conditions with which he must comply for the next twenty-three years of his life; otherwise, he is liable at any time to be rearrested and made to serve the rest of his term.
My hon. friend's motion asks that this man be rearrested and sent back to penitentiary. When ticket of leave is granted under the Ticket of Leave Act, it is absolutely forfeited and the man must go back to jail if he commits any indictable offence. An indictable offence involves absolute forfeiture of ticket of leave. Revocation of his ticket of leave takes place upon his conviction of an offence punishable on summary conviction under this or any other Act. If he commits an indictable offence, forfeiture takes place immediately; if he commits a minor offence, revocation may take place forthwith; and, in either case, he goes back to prison. But in addition to these facts, if he violates any of the conditions of his ticket of leave, he is liable to go and serve the balance of his term. In connection with all tickets of leave granted, the following conditions are imposed:
1.	The holder shall preserve his license and produce it when called upon to do so by a magistrate or a peace officer.
2.	He shall abstain from any violation of
the law.	...
3.	He shall not habitually associate with notoriously bad characters, such as reputed thieves and prostitutes.
4.	He shall not lead an idle and dissolute life without visible means of obtaining an honest livelihood.
And he must comply with any other conditions which His Excellency the Governor General may impose. Then there is the other clause of the statute referred to by my hon. friend, which imposes further conditions. Section 12, subsection 2, provides as follows:
If it appears from the facts proved before the justice-
That is, in the event of the man being rearrested or charged with any offence.
that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the convict so brought before him is getting his livelihood by dishonest means, such convict shall be deemed guilty of an offence against this Act, and his license shall be forfeited.
The law is particularly plain upon this point, and the procedure in such cases is exceedingly simple. If the man whose case is now under discussion is guilty of getting his livelihood by dishonest means, his ticket of leave is forfeited and he goes back to prison. But the fact that he is living dishonestly must be established. From what I have learned from the statement of my hon. friend who moved this motion, this man seems to have been a money lender

who holds certain judgments against certain debtors. They are apparently judgments of the court, and so long as they stand I assume they are valid judgments; and I do not think that any one would suggest that a creditor in pursuing his rights under a judgment could be held to be getting his livelihood by dishonest means. I know nothing of the circumstances or conditions in regard to the debts which led up to the judgments. All that my hon. friend has to say on that score may be absolutely true, but this is the question that confronts us:	Is the man living a
life in accordance with his ticket of leave or his license? Is he free from crime? If he is he will not be molested. Is he obtaining his living by dishonest means? If he is, he will be arrested. There are courts in the city of Montreal competent to try such matters and reach a proper conclusion:	I am sure the House is not
such a tribunal.
My hon. friend's motion simply asks that the license, or ticket of leave, granted to this man be set aside, and that he be arrested and sent back to the penitentiary to finish his term. The motion asks us to do something in this House contrary to the plain meaning and effect of the Ticket of Leave Act. The Act declares-that is, this Parliament has said-that under these conditions this man shall be permitted to serve the balance of his sentence at large so long as he lives up to the conditions imposed upon him under his ticket of leave and under the Act of Parliament. My hon. friend's motion seeks practically to set aside the provisions of this Act of Parliament, and the license granted under that Act, and re-arrest this man. I think when the matter is clearly placed before my hon. friend, he will see that the position which he has taken is hardly a sound one, much room as there may be for comment upon the actual condition which exists in regard to this matter in Montreal. I know nothing of these facts, but from my hon. friend's statement I take it that the man has obtained judgments in respect of debt against some people in that city, that he is a pretty ardent creditor and is pursuing the debtors unduly or with great vigour as the case may be. But the law gives him that right. If the judgments are wrong they will be set aside in the civil courts. If he is breaking the law, bring him before the magistrate and have him re-committed; but so long as he lives up to the license that has been granted him 
under the Act of Parliament that man should not be molested.
Motion negatived.



QUEBEC RIOTS OF 1918

[Stage Direction]
On the proposed motion by Mr. Cas-grain,
That, in the opinion of this House, the proper measures should be adopted in order to insure to the citizens who sustained any losses on account of the so-called Quebec riots in 1918, proper indemnity for such losses.
Pierre-François Casgrain: I am ready to proceed with the motion, but I am informed that there are other members on this side who would like to be heard in connection with the matter. They are not here at present, however, and for that reason I would like to have the motion continued.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: The resolution stands. I take it that the resolution next in order, in the name of the hon. member for West Quebec (Mr. Parent), is practically the same motion. Perhaps under those circumstances the hon. member would consent to drop that resolution.


Mr. LAPOINTE:: Resolution No. 15 of the hon. member for Charlevoix and Montmorency?


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: No, it stands.


Georges Parent: I would like my resolution to remain.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: The hon. member could not debate it until the preceding resolution is disposed of. As a matter of fact he could not debate it this session at all.


Pierre-François Casgrain: Then I will withdraw my motion.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Resolution 15 (Mr. Cas-grain) dropped. Resolution 16 (Mr. Parent) stands.
HUDSON BAY RAILWAY Mr. J. A. CAMPBELL (Nelson) moved:
That, in the opinion of this House, work on the Hudson Bay railway which was commenced in 1910 and continued to the end of 1918 should be resumed as early this year as possible, and the project completed without any further delay.
He said: Mr. Speaker, you will recollect that in 1911 an important election campaign was fought in Canada. The main issue during that compaign was the question of reciprocity. In the West, however, there were a few other questions which were very important, in fact not much less im-

portant, than the issue alluded to. These were the transfer to the Prairie Provinces of their natural resources, and the completion of the Hudson Bay railway which at that time had been started. Owing to the fact that the Conservative party at that time were not prepared to submit a policy upon the question of reciprocity which met with the approval of the western [DOT]eople, they laid particular emphasis upon the other two issues referred to and gave them much prominence in their platform and in their speeches. I shall not now discuss the question of the transfer to the provinces of their natural resources; that matter is dealt with in another resolution which stands on the Order Paper in my name. However as to the Hudson Bay railway and its completion, I wish to read a clause or plank in the platform of the Conservative party at that time. It is known as the Halifax platform and clause 3 of the document reads as follows:
Construction of the Hudson Bay railway and its operation by an independent commission.
That was a plank or pledge, in the platform of the late Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden who, during his western tour in that campaign, had this to say about the project.
The Conservative party has been committed to the construction of the Hudson Bay railway since 1896. The road will be built by the next Conservative Administration without one day's unnecessary delay. It will be operated by an independent commission on behalf, and in the interests, of the people, with full control of rates.
It is hardly necessary for me to say, Mr. Speaker, that that pledge has not been implemented, that the road has not been built, and that delays-both unnecessary and otherwise-have taken place. In brief the situation is as follows: For a period of almost half a century the Hudson Bay Railway project has been before the people of Canada. The history of the enterprise is most unique. There never has been, nor is there now, any party or party leader opposed to the undertaking. On the contrary the construction of the railway has been advocated and promised by all political parties and leaders from the time of the government of Sir John A. Macdonald to the present, the only point of disagreement being as to what party or what government could best and most expeditiously construct the road. The feasibility and practicability of the Hudson Bay route was investigated by different expeditions and commissions. Reports were duly presented and on the strength of these the Government of the day, that of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, decided to build the railway and were strongly
supported by the then opposition, under the leadership of Mr. (now Sir) Robert Borden. The work was commenced in 1910. On the change of Government in 1911, operations were stopped pending further investigation by the new Government, and re-commenced in 1912, the announcement then being made that the road would be finished in 1915. The outbreak of the war caused no cessation in operations, in fact the work of construction was even accelerated. Most of the work on the road and nearly all that on the terminals was done in the years, 1915,1916 and 1917. An item of $1,000,000 was in the Estimates of 1918 to complete the road but practically no work was done that year except the small amount to complete the bridge over Kettle rapids.
The war ended in 1918 and so did the work on the railway. The situation was then, and is now, as follows:	The grade
is completed from the Pas to Port Nelson, a distance of 424 miles. Steel is laid 332 miles involving the construction of two steel bridges at a cost of over $700,000. The total cost to date is approximately $14,000,000 for the railway, and work on the terminals has cost over $6,000,000. It is necessary to lay only 92 miles of steel to connect the railway with the terminals, and the estimated cost is $1,700,000. And now after all these years, after carrying on the work throughout the war period, after about $21,000,000 has been spent, and just when the end is in sight, it would appear that the Government has abandoned, for an indefinite period, the project to disuse, deterioration and decay while deciding to go on with other public works, mainly in the East, an action that on the face of it passes my comprehension.
This project has been before the people of Canada for over half a century. It came up at the time of the entrance of Manitoba into the Confederation in 1870. I well remember when a very young boy in Winnipeg being interested, as everybody was, in the election campaign of 1887, the candidates there being Hugh Sutherland and William B. Scarth, the latter the candidate of Sir John A. Macdonald's Government. The only question at issue was the construction of the Hudson Bay railway, and the only point of interest to the people was which one of the candidates could best bring about that desired end. The Government of the day made a strong bid for support, and as a result their candidate won out by about twelve votes, I think it was, purely and simply on that issue.
In 1896, before the general election was held, the then leader of the Conservative

party and Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Charles Tupper, had this to say re the proposed construction of the Hudson Bay railway:
I cannot understand why any lion, gentleman should be Induced to denounce and endeavour to hold up to ridicule, as impracticable, a work upon which not only the sentiments of the people of Manitoba and the Northwest are centred to-day as upon no other question, but a work that X believe, having studied it carefully for many years, is of the most vital consequence to the progress and development of that great country. Now, Sir, I have always been recognized in this House as one who believes thoroughly in Manitoba and the Northwest. Indeed, I may say that, in my judgment, the rapid development and progress of Canada as a whole depends more upon the development of that great prairie region between the Red river and the Rocky mountains, than upon any other scheme that can be devised.
All hon. members will recollect the result of that general election. The matter came up in the second session of 1896 by a question from the gentleman who is now member for Springfield (Mr. Richardson), and in reply Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that an investigation would be proceeded with, as it was the duty of the Government to do so, and afterwards the matter would be gone on with at the earliest possible date. That investigation was proceeded with in various ways during the next few years. In 1906 the matter again came up in this House on a resolution by Mr. W. E. Knowles: That in the opinion of this House it is urgently necessary that the Government should take all possible steps for the speedy construction of a railway to the shores of Hudson bay. The hon. Thomas Greenway, speaking to the motion, mentioned the fact that thirty years before he had been a member of a committee that took evidence in this connection. The right hon. Minister of Trade and Commerce (Sir George Foster)-who I am sorry to see has left his seat-had some very pertinent remarks to make on the question at that particular time. He spoke as follows:
With reference to the special one which has been brought up to-day, I believe the time has come-[DOT]
That was in 1907.
-when the Hudson Bay railroad should be more than an academic question, just to be talked of sympathetically. I believe it ought to be built, and it cannot be built now any too soon. I believe the best plan for building it would be to add the sympathy of the Northwest provinces to the sympathy of the Dominion Government as the central power, join all these sympathies together and make the sympathy praotical, and have the road built on fair conditions up to the great northern port of Canada. I think without doubt that the prophecy that was hinted at by the mover

of this resolution, and the sentiment expressed by myself, cannot be held to be true until it is actually put into experiment; but I believe that a four months' season is perfectly feasible for that northern route. If the old Hudson Bay company, a hundred years ago, got their punts in there through the ice and storms, and made their ports with great regularity, and had an average season of between three and four months for a long-period, what can be done with modern foroes of invention, with vessels built of any degree of strength you wish, and with any amount of motive power you want to put into them, in comparison with those early pioneers? So I believe it is perfectly feasible to have an open route there and a commercial route as well for four months and possibly a good deal longer period, if the proper attempts are made for oarrying out the experiment to a practical conclusion.
A little later he said:
The opening up of this route may work as great changes in that section as the Tehuantepec railway which has just been opened across the Mexican peninsula and the Panama canal, ten or twenty years hence when it is completed will work in connection with Atlantic and Pacific trade routes in the central part of this continent. X should like to see Canada get her short line in the north built as quickly as possible, and I believe that it will greatly enhance the value of Canadian products and of Canadian lands and the wealth of the Canadian nation as a whole.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier in that debate said:
I agree with every sentiment which has been uttered here that there could be no difference of interest between the East and the West. What is doing good for the West is doing good for the East, and vice versa.
In 1908 there was what might be called a full dress debate in this House in connection with that resolution. Fourteen hon. members, both of Conservative and Liberal complexion took part in it. The West, of course, was represented, as was also Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and the result of the debate showed the House was practically unanimous in the conclusion that the work should be gone on with. If you permit me, Mr. Speaqer, I shall read a few brief quotations from the speeches made at that time. The gentleman who is now Sir Richard Lake, the late Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan, spoke as follows:
Let me also say that which I think has not been called attention to this evening, namely, this route will be most useful from a military standpoint.
I intended to discuss the question from that standpoint myself, but I am going to let the words of Sir Richard Lake suffice:
Should unhappily we ever be in a state of war in Canada, such a line of railway would be most invaluable to Canada and to the Empire, and it would also be invaluable as affording a safer trade route than any now existing for the food

supplies of the Mother 'Country. Even if we look at It from a certain point of view, it would give us an immense advantage over any rivals we may have in the furnishing of that food supply, because there can be no doubt that the northerly route would be the safest for the transport of food products to the United Kingdom. It would afford a short route also, the shortest of all routes, by which Imperial troops could be quickly and expeditiously and safely conveyed to the Far East. .	.	. We do not look upon
that as an enterprise in the ordinary acceptation of the term ; we look upon it as an absolute necessity to the continued development of our great provinces in the Northwest.
Mr. A. A. McLean, the then member for Queen's, spoke as follows:
It really seems to me in looking at the map that every man east of the Baie des 'Chaleurs ought to hold up his hand for the construction of a railway to Fort Churchill, provided they are convinced of the navigability of Hudson straits for even five months in the year. The industrial communities of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island would thereby secure easy access to the northern part of this continent for their manufactured products by securing direct water shipment and avoiding the heavy tolls charged on the different railways, while so far as regards the agricultural interests of Prince Edwad Island and Cape Breton, contiguous to the route, there is every reason to suppose that they would be able to find a ready market among our own people for all they have to sell.
Mr. George W. Fowler, then representing King's and Albert, and now in the Senate, and who recently presided over a committee that investigated this project and made the last report in connection therewith, said:
The question of the Hudson Bay railway is a very important question to the people of the West. I do not believe that a more feasible route for a new transportation line can be found than by way of Hudson Bay. For my part, though coming from the extreme East, I am strongly in favour of the construction of this road.
The late Prime Minister, then Mr. R. L. Borden, made these remarks:
In regard to the general question, the subject is one of intense interest to the people of the West. That perfectly apparent to any gentleman who has gone to the West and who knows how thoroughly the people of Manitoba and the two other provinces are convinced that the Hudson Bay route will give to them an outlet which is absolutely necessary to the full and complete development of their country.
Mr. McCarthy, who then represented Calgary, spoke along the same lines. And I need not read the speech made by Hon. Dr. Roche, who subsequently occupied a position in the Cabinet of Sir Robert Borden. Dr. Schaffner, now Senator Schaffner, who has been a consistent and persistent advocate of this route all along, also spoke to the same effect. I wish to read in this connection an extract from the speech of Mr. J. Herron, of Alberta, Which refers particularly to the benefit that the establishment of such a route would confer on the cattle industry. He said:
I would like, however, to say that one phase of the Hudson Bay route which especially commends lit to the favour of the people of Southern Alberta, lies in the advantage that it will offer In connection with the shipment of cattle from that range country. Our wild Stock raised on the prairies do not take kindly to transportation by rail. It is the long railway journey from Alberta to the sea-ooaist that takes practically the cream off the business of cattle raising on the western plains; and if we had a railroad to Hudson Bay, it would give us the advantage of a shorter railway journey by 1,000 miles. For that reason alone the people of Southern Alberta are (specially interested in the building of that railroad. I would be glad to see the Government take up the question in a practical *way andi carry it to a termination Instead of simply using it for political purposes from year to year, and letting it end' at that. With these remarks I merely wish to state that I will support the resolution.
As I have intimated, we have statements there from six different provinces, all emphatically in favour of this project; and the statements are made by gentlemen on both sides of the political fence.
In 1910 the work was commenced by the Government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier by the construction of a bridge over the Saskatchewan at The Pas. The question, however, again came up in this House in 1911 on motion of Mr. D. B. Neely, then member for Humboldt. I refer to this as I wish to give two or three more quotations, one of which is from the remarks of the Minister of Railways and Canals at that time, the late Hon. Frank Cpchrane-and this is very emphatic and definite:
I want to tell him now that this Government will carry out the promises they made when in Opposition. There has been no change of policy in reference to the building of the Hudson Bay railway... There will be no further delay than is absolutely necessary for the checking up of these surveys.
Sir Robert Borden, then Mr. Borden, Prime Minister, said on that occasion:
We expect to proceed with the construction o>f this road, to ipreceed with it as soon as we can .possibly do so, having regard to what is demanded by the interests of the country both east and west, namely that the very best route shall be selected.	*
The only question raised at that time it will he noticed was the checking up of surveys and the location of the route. The House will be interested, I am sure, to hear a quotation in this respect from the remarks of the present Minister of Militia (Mr. Guthrie) on that occasion, he was somewhat doubtful as to the Government's bona fides in the matter. He said:



But the attitude of the present Government with regard to the Hudson Bay railway now appears to be that this road is going to be changed, to be delayed, and perhaps indefinitely postponed. That is not a satisfactory condition of affairs.
If, Mr. Speaker, it was not a satisfactory condition in December 1911, it is certainly no less unsatisfactory at the present time. After the conclusion of the election campaign of 1911 the work was stopped, the reason given being that what had been done by the previous Administration needed investigation, and that the question of the route would have to be looked into further. This was done, and in 1912 the work was recommenced. During 1914, 1915, 1916, and 1917, the war years, the greatest amount of work was done on this road. It has always been difficult for me to understand how it was that when we were straining every effort to bring the war to a successful conclusion the greatest amount of work was done and the most money was spent on this project. I can only explain that by the assumption that the Government thought the war might last a considerable length of time and that it was necessary to get the Hudson Bay railway finished in order that it might furnish one important link in the chain of preparations that were being made for the successful conclusion of the war. A great many people thought that if the Hudson Bay railway had been completed when the war broke out, supplies and reinforcements could have been got over much more quickly and thus have materially assisted in bringing about the desired end. However, without going into the details, I may say that approximately three-quarters of the total amount spent on the project was spent during those years.
In 1918 the Estimates contained an item of $1,000,000 for the completion of the road, and it was intimated at that time that by the use of certain material which the Government had on hand the road could be completed for that amount. At the beginning of 1918 all there was to do before going on with the laying of steel was the finishing of the bridge over the Nelson river at Kettle Rapids which bridge cost approximately $400,000 but the completion of this bridge was all the work that was done that year; the money voted was not expended. Some of us in the House at that time urged that if the work was not completed it should at least be gone on with and the rails laid eighteen miles further on in order to connect up with a couple

of trestles over the Limestone river and thus prevent their being washed out by spring freshets. Nothing, however, was done, and these trestles have since been lost.
In 1919 the opinion began to prevail out in the West that the Government did not intend to go on with the railway, and as everyone out there was interested, resolutions were passed by various public bodies and delegations came down to Ottawa from Provincial Governments from boards of trade, from Municipal Councils, from Grain Growers Associations and other public associations throughout the West. Delegations from the Provincial Governments of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the Winnipeg Board of Trade, the Saskatoon Board of Trade, from Boards of Trade of the Pas, Moosomin, Belford, Yorkton, and other places interviewed the Government. I might say that at this time the western members got together and in a caucus which they held passed a very strong resolution urging on the Government that no further delay be incurred in connection with the completion of this project. I shall not read the resolution in toto; I quote simply a couple of clauses from it:
Therefore, It is resolved that in the opinion of the subscribing members of the House of Commons that to leave the road incomplete is to waste a great part of twenty millions of dollars, and that this and not preceding Governments will be held responsible for such waste.
Further down it says:
That the railway is a national undertaking long overdue and until the enterprise is complete, it will be a disturbing element in western thought and Canadian politics. That the experience gained when in Manitoba the Canadian Pacific monopoly was broken and southern railway connections brought added traffic will be repeated, and the resources to be developed by this railway should assure an increase of traffic on existing systems.
This was signed by all but two of the western members, on all sides of politics who were then present.
To sum up, Mr. Speaker, I may say that the construction of the Hudson bay railway was a plank in the platforms of all the Dominion parties. It was a plank in the platforms of the parties of the western provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. It was supported by all the leaders of both parties from the time it first became a public question until the present, including the present leaders of the three parties in this House; yet in the face of this we have the unsatisfactory condition which exists.

I do not propose to go into the question of the feasibility or the practicability of the route; that would appear to me to be simply a work of supererogation. Investigations have taken place; expeditions have been sent out; evidence has been taken by commissions; committees of this House and of the Senate have reported at different times during these years, all practically with the one result as summed up in the last report of the Senate, which was submitted last year, and which, in epitome, said that the Hudson Bay route was feasible and practicable and urged that it be gone on with. One government commenced the work; another government stopped the work in order to envestigate certain features of the project and the procedure in general. Then, after some delay, the work was again resumed rather briskly, but after a number of years, without any reason whatever being given, the work was stopped.
The West is solid for this project, and I am satisfied that the bulk of opinion in the East is favourable to it. The situation in the East has probably changed, in recent years, and I know personally that newspapers which formerly opposed this project are now in favour of it. There is no reason whatever why the East should oppose it in any way. Some say that the territory through which the Hudson Bay railway passes is a barren waste and the idea of its being an overseas route is impracticable. We well remember however the statements made when the Canadian Pacific railway was under contract and construction in the first instance, how papers in the East said that it would never pay and how they generally ridiculed the idea that there would ever be any settlements on the western plains. The same statements are now being made as regards the Hudson Bay railway and the north country generally, with the same reason. The arguments adduced at the time the work was started are still good. The western plains are still 1,000 or 1,500 miles nearer to the markets of the world by this route than by any other. It provides an additional route, as was argued at that time. It also provides a natural and exclusively Canadian route, as was also argued then. The evidence brought out shows that cargoes can be shipped over that route by rail and water; that return cargoes can be obtained, and that the straits can be navigated. A casual glance at the map will show that Hudson bay is
62J
still in the same position, and it looks as if it were providentially placed there in order to be a great outlet for the products of the West.
Not only are the old arguments good, but since the Hudson Bay railway has been started, additional arguments and reasons for its completion have come to the fore. It is now known that there are in that district resources of which we had not dreamed at the time the Hudson Bay railway was first projected. And the bay itself is an important asset. A few years ago the Timiskaming and Northern Ontario railway was projected and constructed by the Ontario Government to tap the clay belt in northern Ontario. By means of that railway, discoveries have been made which have put Ontario on the map as a mining country, and the benefits of that railway cannot be overestimated. Some such situation as that may occur, in fact is taking place, with regard to the Hudson Bay railway. There is, within fifteen miles from Mile 82 on the railway an important gold deposit which is rapidly coming into prominence and which may yet take its place as a producer alongside that famous district of northern Ontario. I might say also, to give another instance of what the Hudson Bay railway has done for that northern territory, that one of the engineers on the railway, along with a companion in the year 1915, while on a prospecting expedition in that territory, discovered a body of copper sulphide ore from which 26,000 tons have already been shipped to Trail, B.C., at an expense of approximately $50 per ton, the amount realized being over $100 per ton. Thus it was, that the Mandy mine was discovered and brought to the attention of the public. Within a few miles of that mine, there is a deposit of copper, a similar sulphide ore, not nearly so valuable per ton, but much more extensive, which after two or three years of diamond drilling at an expense of probably half a million dollars, has proven up to the extent of sixteen to twenty million tons of an average value of eight to ten dollars per ton. These are a few items showing the situation with reference to the mineral resources up in that country.


Mr. EULER:: Is the hon. member
favouring the construction of the Hudson Bay railway because of the resources that may be developed in that northern country and for transportation inland, or because

of the facilities for transportation overseas?


Mr. CAMPBELL:: The original argument for the Hudson hay route was that it would facilitate transportation overseas. But since the road has been under construction, it has been shown that the natural resources, not only in the district, but in the bay itself, are such as would' fully warrant the construction of the railway, simply for the purpose of developing those resources by opening up the country, and connecting with the bay itself if the other questions were left out of consideration altogether. Thus, instead of one argument, we have now three arguments for constructing and completing that route at the earliest possible date.


William Daum Euler: Will the hon. member state definitely for how many months in the year one can count on the Hudson strait being open? Is it not the case that it will be open for two months only?


John Archibald Campbell: As I said before, I did not purpose going into the question of navigability of the straits and the feasibility of the route generally, on account of the fact that so many commissions have taken evidence on this matter and there is so much evidence that I could take up the time of the House from now until late in the evening going into this question. But as the hon. member asks me what I think, I will tell him, that from the evidence submitted, it is safe to say that the strait will be open for navigation for a period of four months in the year, and that with modern aids to navigation which were not possible in years past, such as the aeroplane, wireless telegraphy and various other instruments that have been discovered within recent years, that period might readily be extended to five months. Personally, I think I am safe in saying that. There are gentlemen who know the situation, who have lived up in the district, who have investigated the matter thoroughly, who will go further than that. There are others who will not go quite so far. If I were to go into this question fully, I would take up more time than I think would be necessary, and I take it for granted that the Government were fully satisfied on this point before they expended $20,000,000 on the project.
In that northern country, in addition to the resources that I have mentioned, there are extensive water-powers. Those on the Nelson are estimated to amount to between

two and three million horse-power. The Hudson Bay railway runs for a great distance almost parallel to the Nelson river, and some of those water-powers could be used in connection with the railway itself. There are great areas of pulpwood in close proximity to . the water-powers. Besides- and I just wish to mention this fact-notwithstanding statements that have been made otherwise, there are immense areas of land which are suitable for agriculture and which will eventually be developed. In a government publication issued by the Natural Resources Development Branch of the Department of the Interior, this statement is made:
One of the principal factors in bringing It into prominence, however,-
That is the district and its resources.
-was the construction of the Hudson Bay division of the Canadian Government railways.
The House is familiar to some extent with the writings of the Messrs. Tyrrell who have travelled that country extensively during the last twenty-five years, and in a book issued by them a statement is made that the Hudson bay itself will be looked upon in the future as a national asset; that it contains immense fishing resources and in the surrounding lands are to be found iron, galena, graphite, mica and other minerals.
The construction of this railway is of paramount necessity to the West.
Canadian Finance is an independent financial journal published in Winnipeg. It is non political and is edited by men who look upon matters from a sound sensible, and practical standpoint. It says:
The development of the untold resources of the North is dependent to a great exteht upon the railroad facilities which the Hudson's Bay Railway will provide.
For this reason, if for no other, the railways should be proceeded with energetically. Western Canada needs it and desires no unnecessary delay in its completion.
That is another statement that will furnish an answer to the question of my hon. friend from North Waterloo (Mr. Euler). The Hudson Bay railway is to the Western Provinces what the Intercolonial was to the Maritime Provinces and what the Canadian Pacific was to British Columbia. With this difference, that not only were definite promises made but agreements were entered into between the Government of the day and the Maritime Provinces and British Columbia respectively regarding these two railways, whereas in connection with the Hudson Bay railway

we have simply the statements of different governments and their leaders regarding its construction. Is the word of this Government as good as its bond? If so, this railway will be constructed just as these other railways have been. But if tfie promise made to the people of the West is not as binding as the promises made to the people of these other parts of Canada, then presumably the project will be allowed to lapse and nothing further be done. We take it, of course, that the Government has regard for its promises and will go ahead with this railway as it is in duty bound to do.
The West and the Government itself appear to be increasingly confident in the success of this railway. If hon. gentlemen will look at the map which used to hang in the Railway Committee room, hut which I have not seen since the new Railway Committee room has been opened, they will find that nearly all, or a great many at all events, of the branch lines which have been constructed recently and are being constructed in the West have been projected with the idea of ultimately connecting up with the Hudson Bay railway. Delegations were here during the last two years from the different parts of the West, one from Moosomin and Yorkton, with the idea of getting a line from the Estevan coal fields almost straight north to connect up with Hudson Bay Junction and the Hudson Bay railway. The line running out of Melfort northeasterly from that point it intended eventually to link up with the Hudson Bay railway, and Saskatoon, and Calgary. I might quote other instances but these are sufficient for the time being. Hon. members will find by the map I have referred to, that fourteen charters have been granted for railways to the Hudson bay, most of them from the west side, but one or two from the east side. Before concluding I might say that as far as I can make out no real reasons have been given for abandoning this project. The only reason that is put forward at the present time is the matter of economy. You may recollect, Mr. Speaker, having read the statement of Artemus Ward, who intimated that he was at the time of the Civil War, ready to sacrifice all his wife's relations on the altar of his country. That seems to be the attitude taken by the Government at the present time. They are prepared to sacrifice this project but they are not prepared to sacrifice other things
nearer home. In view of the lavish expenditure of 1919, and of the proposed expenditures in the Estimates which have recently been brought down, wherein provision has been made for Toronto Harbour works, the Welland canal, the ever present Trent canal, a new dry dock at Esquimalt and St. John Harbour works it would seem that one particular undertaking is being sacrificed in the interests of economy, and other new ones brought forward.
I had intended to take up the question of providing rails and ties for this railway but shall defer doing so, except to say that the course of the Government in the last few years has shown some of us conclusively and emphatically that there does not appear to be any intention on the part of the Government to go on with this project, but rather to let it lapse into deterioration and decay. I think I am safe in saying that every year the work is allowed to stand as it is will mean the loss of 81,000,000 at least and possibly more. Hon. gentlemen will readily understand that a railway with 324 miles of steel completely laid, and 92 additional miles of a dump, will, if left to the by no means tender mercies of the elements, soon suffer great depreciation and loss.
In conclusion I wish to say, what perhaps is not generally known, that the West itself is paying for this road. In 1909 in a discussion on an item of Supply there appears in Hansard the following:
Mr. Lake: It was understood by this House, I think, that the money to be expended on the construction of the Hudson Bay railway was to come from a special fund to be created by the sale of pre-emptions.
Mr. Graham: Yes.
It would appear to me unnecessary to read any more in this connection. I made inquiry last year, and got a statement to the effect that approximately $28,000,000 of these pre-emptions had been sold in Western Canada up to that time. Unfortunately, I have not the statement with me, but that is the amount in round figures. Of that $28,000,000 approximately one-half had already been collected. This money, according to the statement I have just read, is intended to be applied to the construction and completion of the Hudson Bay railway.
If ever there was a case made out for any public work in Canada it has surely been made out for the Hudson Bay railway. If ever solemn promises and definite pledges have been given by any political party or its leaders, they have been given

in connection with this railway; but these solemn promises have been broken, and not even a plausible excuse has been given. The only conclusion that some of us can come to is that there must be behind the Government some special interests who are opposed to the construction of this road and are preventing further work being done, such interests being, for reasons best known to themselves, not in position to show their hand at the present time. I now beg to move the resolution seconded by the hon. member for Prince Albert (Mr. Knox).


Arthur Meighen: Mr. Speaker, I rise not to discuss the resolution, but rather to raise at this juncture a point of order. It seems to me a resolution of this character comes within the category of those which the rules of the House provide cannot be submitted by a private member. It must be manifest to every hon. member that if the resolution passes, it involves at once either the expenditure of public money or the introduction of an appropriation for the purpose. It virtually amounts to a direction by the House for large immediate commitments. It would occur to me that if it is competent for a resolution of this character to be introduced by a private member, it should be just as competent for a Bill involving the same result to be so introduced. In fact, I do not see any value whatever in the well-known reservation that financial commitments are to be initiated by the Government alone, if resolutions of this character can be introduced and discussed. At all events, I submit that thought to yourself, Mr. Speaker, for consideration. I know that no one will be disposed to dispute the wisdom of the rule that acts of Parliament or resolutions involving expenditure of public money should be introduced only at the initiation of the Government, because otherwise there seems to me to be no restraint which the Government, as those fundamentally responsible, can exercise over expenditure. Furthermore, the members of the House themselves are put in a very difficult position if the House is to be committed, either by resolution or by Bill, to large expenditures at the initiation of a private member.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: The Prime Minister has raised a very intricate point of order, and one on which I would not care to give a decision off-hand. The hon. member whose name has been submitted as the seconder of the resolution has risen to speak, and I would prefer that for the present he go

on with his discussion of the resolution. I would prefer to reserve my decision on the point of order in the meantime, and perhaps I shall be able to give it later on in the discussion.


Hon. W. S. FIELDING (Shelburne and Queen's) :: If I might be permitted on the point of order, while the general ground as stated by my right hon. friend is correct, I think the rules of the House permit an expression of abstract opinion that does not in itself call for public expenditure, and I am inclined to think, and I submit it for your consideration, Mr. Speaker, that the resolution of the hon. gentleman comes within that rule

that it does not call for an expenditure of public money. On the merits of the question I do not wish to say anything at all. I just wish to submit that thought for your consideration on the point of order.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: It would be quite competent for any hon. member to discuss the point of order, but I would prefer that discussion to come a little later on when I am prepared to give a ruling. In the meantime I would like the seconder of the reso lution to proceed with his address.


Mr. ANDREW KNOX (Prince Albert) :: Mr. Speaker, in seconding this resolution I wish very briefly to deal with one or two points which I consider of vital importance to the people of the West, and incidentally to the people of the whole Dominion. The hon. member for Nelson (Mr. Compbell) has gone into the matter very fully, and brought out a number of very important points as to why this project should be completed. He has shown that a great asset of the Dominion of Canada exists in this route up to and through the Hudson bay, and I think there can be no question that this asset is at the present time deteriorating and being allowed to go backward instead of forward. I am intensely interested in the development of the natural resources of this country, and particularly of those resources in the great Hinterland of the Northwest more or less tributary to the Hudson bay. I cannot think of anything that would tend to the development of those resources more than the opening up of that country by the Hudson Bay railway. There is one other reason which impresses itself upon my mind as to the necessity of doing something along the line of opening up this route, and that is'the fact that at the present time the West is carrying a very heavy burden in the shape of high freight rates. These freight rates have the effect of causing trade and production to stagnate, in that

supplies shipped into the West have to be carried over a most expensive system of transportation, and the products of the West have also to be shipped out over that same system. I- believe that the development of the Hudson Bay route would overcome that difficulty to a certain extent.
The belief prevails very strongly throughout the West that eastern interests are in some way opposed to the opening up of the Hudson Bay route. Consequently, we believe that the delay in completing the project has been inspired by those interests. That belief does prevail very strongly throughout the West. The people of the West have been looking forward for this railway for a great number of years. I might state that at the annual meetings of the Saskatchewan Grain Growers' Association we have dealt with this question year after year for probably 15 years. A resolution has been passed at every meeting after discussion, and in every case carried by a unanimous vote.
As to the difference in distance for supplies going into the West or produce coming out of the West, if we take some point in the middle West, say the town of Kinder-sley, which is a prominent central point, we find that the difference in distance to the ocean outlet from Kindersley is almost 1,100 miles in favour of the Hudson Bay route via Nelson as compared with a point such as Montreal. In the constituency I have the honour to represent, which produces a great deal of produce in the shape of both beef and grain, the difference in distance from almost any point in the constituency is over 1,200 miles. This is something which should surely appeal not only to the people of the West but to the whole Dominion, for the more prosperity we have in the West, the more prosperity we have in the whole Dominion. As to the present state of the road, I have not seen it personally, but I have discussed it with people who have been over it, and I wish to quote a short extract from a western newspaper written by a man who is thoroughly conversant with the road and has been over it. He says:
The ties under those 333 miles of finished track from The Pas to Kettle Rapids are rotten, so rotten that a slow moving train which creeps out twice each month is derailed time after time from spreading rails. The writer was on this train two trips out this past summer, and saw the box cars turned over on their sides, the ties shattered into rotten bits and the rails warped out of shape, because the track is not being taken care of. It is a disgrace to the railway department to so neglect a priceless asset of the Canadian people, and the time will come when somebody must be called to account for this condition of things.
Hon. members from the West have on many occasions drawn the attention of the Department of Railways and Canals to the state of this road, and are anxiously pressing that some attention be paid to it, so that the present conditiop shall not continue.
I do not intend to go into the question of the feasibility of the route because that has been conceded by both the old political parties, and has been pointed out by my hon. friend from Nelson. I should like, however, to refer to the fact that a Senate committee was appointed last year, consisting of 12 members and in their final report I find this:
The committee had in view the securing of information on the following points:
(1)	The length of the season during which the bay and strait were reasonably navigable, having in view the presence of ice, the occurrence and persistence of snowstorms, the advantages to be gained by aids to navigation, such as wireless telegraphy, lighthouses, fog signals, and hydroplanes.
(2)	The style and size of vessels to be used for the carrying trade.
(3)	The relative merits of the two ports, Nelson and Churchill, and the relative cost of the development of each port.
(4)	The fishing resources of the bay and strait and of the rivers emptying into the bay.
(6) The mineral resources of the country tributary to the bay.
(6) The utilization of the country for the production of meat and furs to be obtained from the reindeer and musk ox, which would subsist upon the extremely nutritious grasses grown [DOT] there.
This committee was appointed on April 22 of last year, and, after holding fifteen meetings and examining twenty-one witnesses brought from different parts of the Dominion, who had a knowledge of conditions, they submitted their report on June 4. I shall not read the whole report because it is rather lengthy, but I desire to quote the following:
Tour committee makes the following findings upon the evidence adduced before them:
(1)	That the Hudson Bay route is feasible and will probably in time be profitable.
(2)	That the season of navigation under present conditions is at least four months in length and may by reason of improvements in aids to navigation be considerably increased.
I would draw the attention of the hon. member for North Waterloo (Mr. Euler), who made inquiries as to the length of the season, to the paragraph I have just read.
(3)	That in the opinion of this committee sufficient care was not taken in the selection of Nelson as the terminus of the railway, and that the Government should not make further important expenditures upon this port without first making a new and thorough examination into the relative merits of Churchill and Nelson as a terminus of the railroad.
(4)	That the waters of the strait and rivers tributary to the bay teem with fish and valu-

able marine animals, and we believe that the bay is equally well stocked but there has not yet been sufficient data collected as to the extent of the fisheries of the bay to enable an authoritative statement to be made as to their value.
(5)	That the mines already discovered in the Hudson bay district are of sufficient number and richness to indicate the existence of great potential mineral wealth.
(6)	Tour committee feel that they cannot too strongly endorse the value of the suggestion of Mr. Stefansson as to the cultivation of the reindeer and musk ox, and would urge upon the Government that the Department of the Interior be empowered to take hold of this matter, earnestly taking advantage of what has been done in this regard by the United States Government.
(7)	Tour committee, although it is somewhat outside the scope of their mandate, cannot close this report without making some reference to the national value of the explorations of Vihljalmur Stefansson. He has completely revolutionized our ideas of the region within the Polar Circle. He has demonstrated that it is possible for white men to live and thrive in that northern region though drawing from no other resources than those afforded by the country itself, and he has proven that those lands which were looked upon as barren and utterly worthless will eventually be a valuable asset to Canada. The committee ventures the hope that the Canadian Government will not be unmindful of the great services performed by Mr. Stefansson, whose reward so far has not been commensurate with the national importance of the work he has accomplished.
(8)	Tour committee expresses its thanks to the gentlemen who have voluntarily come forward and given valuable evidence upon the important matters under consideration.
(9)	Tour committee submit herewith an extract in narrative form of the evidence given before the committee, and beg to recommend that one thousand copies of this report and the extract of the evidence be printed in pamphlet form for general distribution.
All which is respectfully submitted.
Geo. W. Fowler,
Chairman.
I do not wish to detain the House any further, but I would say that we recognize the necessity of economy at the present time. In looking over the Estimates one is struck by the fact that the Government seems bold enough to put an item there for $5,000,000 for the Welland canal, a project which cannot have any immediate result. Such being the case, surely it is not out of place to request that they consider the completion of the Hudson Bay railway.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I am prepared to give a ruling on the point of order raised by the Prime Minister (Hon. Mr. Meighen), but if any hon. member desires to be heard, he may speak on the point of order now.


Mr. BUREAU:: Mr. Speaker, I do not
think the point of order is well taken. The fact that an hon. member introduces a resolution for the purpose of ascertaining the

views of the House on the subject with which it deals by no means binds the Government to any action involving the expenditure of public moneys. I think there are precedents in support of this contention. If the point of order were sustained, the effect, in my opinion, would be to preclude any member of the House of Commons from expressing his views on any important subject affecting the welfare of the country, or of learning the opinions of other hon. gentlemen. After all, a resolution dealing with any public work must ultimately involve the expenditure of public moneys. For instance, the resolution of my hon. friend from Quebec South (Mr. Power), asks that the walls of Quebec be maintained; and that, as well as any other resolution having for its object the erection of a monument, say, or the performance of any other public work, would ultimately mean the expenditure of public money, if the proposals put forward in the resolution are to be given any effect at all. Now, I do not think it is the intention of the rule to preclude the expression of views by the House on public questions which might ultimately involve public expenditures. The resolution of the hon. member does not necessarily bind the Government; there would first have to be a mandate from the Governor General in Council before public moneys could be spent. I do not think it has ever been the intention of Parliament to prevent members from merely advocating that certain necessary public works should be done. In this case, very many members of this House have decided that the building of the Hudson Bay railway should be completed. I understand that the works have been suspended. To-day an hon. member gets up and asks the House to concur in his opinion, that operations should be resumed. Of course, the resumption of the work would necessitate the voting of money; but that vote would not be by reason of this resolution; it would be in consequence of a resolution introduced by the Government upon which a Bill would be founded. I submit, therefore, that the rule is not applicable in this instance, and the point of order is not well taken. If the Prime Minister's point of order were upheld, hon. members would be prevented from suggesting necessary public improvements for the good of the country.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Bourinot says-


John Archibald Campbell: Mr. Speaker, I should like to speak to the point of order. Some of the speeches from which I quoted were

delivered in a debate similar to this. The matter under discussion was to the same effect as the resolution now before the House, and I might mention that (as a matter of precedent-


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: The hon. member will
pardon my interrupting him. I think I can very well anticipate his line of argument on the point of order, and possibly it might be well for me to suggest that the contention which he evidently intends to advance is sound. Bourinot says, at page 410:
A practice has grown up in the House of allowing the introduction of resolutions byprivate members, when they do not directly involve the expenditure of public money, but simply express an abstract opinion on a matter which may necessitate a future grant.
It seems to me that the resolution now before the House is entirely covered in the phraseology of the extract I have just quoted. I also find, in May, 12th edition, at page 468, the following:
In like manner, motions advocating public ex-penditure, 'or the imposition of a charge, if the motion be framed in sufficiently abstract and general terms, can be entertained, and agreed to by the House. Resolutions of this nature-
And I call the attention of the House particularly to the following sentence-
-are permissible because, having no operative effect, no grant is made or burthen imposed by their adoiption.
It seems to me that there again the authority points to the resolution as being in order. But in looking up the journals of the House I find two cases particularly in point. In 1892, on the 14th of March, Mr. Denison, seconded by Mr. Tyrwhitt, moved:
That, whereas the new United States canal at Sault Ste. Marie is being constructed of a depth of 18 feet, and whereas i.t is proposed in that country to deepen their canals on the Great Hakes to not less than 20 feet, and whereas the proposed increase in depth has already been made at the mouth of the Detroit river, in the opinion Of this House it is expedient that the Soulanges canal and the other canals in the river St. Lawrence should be deepened to 20 feet.
Obviously that resolution was in almost direct terms an authority to expend public money. There was also in the year 1885 a resolution moved by Mr. White (Cardwell) seconded by Mr. Wright:
That in the opinion of this House, the full sessional indemnity of .such members of this House as have volunteered, or may volunteer, for service in the North West, and whose services have -been or may be accepted, should be paid on their departure from Ottawa.
That resolution in its terms clearly involved the expenditure of money. Taking
the general view, it does seem to me that if the House were unduly to restrict hon. members in moving motions of this character it would serve to circumscribe debate to a very marked degree, because after all very few resolutions are moved which would not in themselves, if carried into effect, involve the expenditure of public money. It seems to me that the better principle would be to widen the rule as much as possible in order that the sense of the House may be taken upon these matters, it being understood in all cases that these resolutions merely involve an expression of opinion on the part of the House and that they do not affect the constitutional method of placing upon the Government the responsibility of initiating all legislation which has for its object the expenditure of money. Therefore, under all these circumstances,
I must rule that the resolution is in order.


William Findlay Maclean: (South York): I just wish to say that from my long experience in the House I think your ruling, Mr. Speaker, is absolutely in the right direction, and does protect freedom of debate. But there is a feature of the subject we are now discussing as to which we should have some information, and perhaps the Government will now tell us why the work has been stopped and give us good reason for such action. I think that is the most important consideration for the moment and I would like to have some information on the matter, if that be possible, at this stage of the debate.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: The hon. member understands that he has exhausted his right to speak.


William Findlay Maclean: Yes,' Mr. Speaker, I
understand that.


John Dowsley Reid: I would like to say a few words on this resolution. The hon. member for Nelson (Mr. Campbell) stated that the building of the Hudson Bay railway was a plank in the platform of both parties for a number of years. That is true. The railway was commenced by the previous Government, and the work was continued by the Administration of Sir Robert Borden from the time he assumed office in 1911 until the cessation of operations on account of the war. The hon. member must therefore understand that the Government did proceed with the work, and carried it on just as quickly as possible until the project, in common with others, had to be temporarily discontinued at the time of the war. The hon. member also stated that

he could not understand why the work could not be proceeded with and that he could not get any sufficient reason for it. The reason has been given him from time to time. The financial conditions of this country are such that we have been prevented from proceeding not only with the Hudson Bay railway but many other projects. Those financial conditions are entirely different now from what they were in 1910 when the construction of the railway was begun. There is another important fact to be borne in mind. The construction of many other railways in the Prairie Provinces was commenced prior to the war, and it is necessary that these lines should be extended and completed. Quite a few members from the West are pressing for railway extension in their respective constituencies and rightly so for the reason that many settlers are living thirty, forty, fifty and even sixty miles away from a railway. I had a deputation from one of those constituencies yesterday asking for the carrying out of pledges that were made ten, twelve or fifteen years ago. The farmers who composed that deputation told a tale that was really very pitiful respecting the hardships from which they suffered for want of railway communication.


John Archibald Campbell: Will the minister
give one or two instances of the kind of railways of which he speaks, and also tell us if those have been under construction and abandoned?


John Dowsley Reid: 
John Archibald Campbell: Might I correct a
statement made by the minister?


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: If the hon. member desires to ask a question he may do so with the permission of the Minister of Railways, but he is not in order in correcting a statement. However, at a later stage, he will have his opportunity to do so on speaking in reply.


John Dowsley Reid: The hon. member
states that there have been many deputations and resolutions from boards of trade urging the extension of the Hudson Bay railway. I might also tell him, what I am sure he already knows, that there have been many deputations and resolutions from boards of trade for a great many other extensions of railways in the West, and they all have good cases. They have waited for the construction of railways that were promised them many years ago, and they certainly deserve a great deal of sympathy. I have every confidence in the West, and I believe that all the transportation facilities that can be given to our Prairie Provinces should be granted. Any route whether via the Pacific or via the Hudson Bay railway or via the St. Lawrence, that can be developed to serve the West should be established, but at the present time I cannot see where it is possible for the Government to undertake many of the works that are being asked for. In 1910 when this railway was started it only required about $130,000,000 to cary on the affairs of this country.
What position are we in to-day? Instead of $130,000,000 we are faced with an expenditure of $300,000,000, and then on top of that greatly increased expenditure we have a big annual loss in connection with our National railway system. And that is not a loss that we are going to get rid of for some time. I intend a little later on to go more fully into that feature, but I want
to tell the House now that there is a deficit of at least $20,000,000 per annum on the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Transcontinental that is here to stay for many years, because the earnings are such that we cannot get a sufficient revenue to pay the operating and fixed charges on those roads. Now, it may possibly be that even though there is that deficit it pays the country to have those roads, because we are receiving very large revenues from the industrial and other development along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Transcontinental. But even though that may be, there is a deficit of $20,000,000 that any Government for many years to come will have to make good in the Estimates. Then there is another portion of the road on which there is a very large deficit this year, and that deficit will continue, although I hope it will decrease from time to time.
But what the hon. gentleman now asks is that the Government go out and borrow money at six per cent interest to complete the Hudson Bay railway, and thereby add further deficits to our National railway system, for undoubtedly if we build that road to Port Nelson and operate it there will be a very much heavier deficit. I cannot for the life of me see how any hon. member could support such a resolution, which really means that I must come to the House for a large sum to expend on the Hudson Bay railway this session. If the Minister of Finance (Sir Henry Drayton) could supply more money for the construction of railways during the present year, I want to say frankly that I would use it to extend some of the railways in the West to the territories where the people have been suffering so long from lack of railway accommodation, instead of continuing the Hudson Bay railway through a country where there are no settlers at all at the present time. That is the policy I would carry out. Therefore, while I am in sympathy with the construction of the Hudson Bay railway, I must ask that the matter be deferred until financial conditions are better than they are at present. When that time arrives, the Government should proceed with the work and carry it to a conclusion, and also carry out a policy of trying to connect Port Nelson with Liverpool by ships that must be specially built for that route. That being the case, I certainly oppose the resolution and hope the hon. member will withdraw it; if he does not, I hope the House will reject it.


William Daum Euler: Mr. Speaker, it is not my purpose to discuss this resolution at any length, because I cannot pretend to have any very extensive knowledge of the matter under debate. I quite understand the desire of western members to have this road built, but I am not so sure that the carrying out of the project would be as great a benefit to the country as a whole as it would be to the western provinces in particular.
I may say at the outset that if the Minister of Railways (Mr. Reid) had stated to the House that the Government had definitely decided not to continue the construction of that railway, at any time, I believe he would have met the wishes of a large majority of the people of Canada. We have spent already on that road something like twenty-one millions of dollars, and we have practically nothing for it. We are told that the harbour at Port Nelson, which has been under construction, is an impossible harbour in any case. Some six or seven million dollars have already been expended there, I am informed, and have been practically thrown away.
The member for Nelson (Mr. Campbell) has referred to a report that was made by the Canadian Senate during the past year. I read that report with considerable interest when it was sent to me some months ago, and after doing so I could hardly understand why the committee reported in favour of the construction of this railway. There can be only two main objects for the construction of this road; both were mentioned by the member for Nelson. One was that it would develop and open up the country which is contiguous to the Hudson bay; that minerals would be developed, and so on. I agree entirely with the Minister of Railways that if this is the only reason for the construction of the road, the money might better be expended in affording transportation facilities to people in the West who are more entitled to them. The other reason given is that it would provide the means of transporting overseas the grain of the West. Now, in order to do that without great loss, transportation must be possible over a very considerable portion of the year. The hon. member for Nelson stated that the Hudson straits were open some four months every year, possibly five months. I have not had time to look up all the extracts bearing upon that in the report of the Senate committee. I quote, however, from "Authorities quoted and Extracts of Opinions," on page 11 of the report:

Captain Anderson says as to safe navigation during the summer season, year by year, the question is open to individual opinion. The seasons vary considerably. Some are excellent and some are bad. Navigation in Hudson bay may be relied upon from the 15th of July until the 15th of October, with an extension of a week at either end according to the season.
At the most, that would be a period of about, three months. I quote further:
Mr. Harling says, for the three midsummer months, any ordinary vessel could navigate the Hudson bay and straits with comparative safety.
Herbert B. Saunders says that in his opinion the season under ordinary conditions should open about August 1, and vessels can remain in safety at Port Nelson until October 27, which practicaly gives a working season of three calendar months.
And so on. Then, there is an opinion here to which I attach considerable weight. Mr. O'Hara, Deputy Minister of Trade and Commerce, says:
Experiences in navigating Hudson bay widely vary. One captain has a favourable voyage and reports few difficulties, and naturally is very optimistic as to the route. Another has a bad voyage and his opinion is entirely the reverse. Some ships have come safely through, though at times, from ice or heavy weather, they report having been in serious situations.
Then he adds:
In all the reports, however, the utmost caution appears to have been the sole cause of a successful outcome. Difficulties in the nature of magnetic variations, varying currents, ice, fog, heavy gales and heavy seas are not infrequently referred to in the reports of Hudson Bay navigators. These conditions may not be so bad as they actually appear and may be regarded by navigators as all being in the nature of their day's work. Tet, it is sufficient to make one hesitate to take a favourable view of that route, even allowing for more than ordinary conditions of navigation.
The last sentence, in the opinion of the deputy minister, should make every member hesitate before committing this country to further doubtful expenditure on this railway. In view of the evidence adduced before the committee it is rather surprising to me that the committee does recommend the construction of the railway.


Mr. REID (Mackenzie) :: May I ask the hon. gentleman if he will read the evidence of Captain Wakeham, on page 11?


William Daum Euler: Yes, I will read that also if you like. I am not saying that these opinions all coincide, I have read three extracts which state that the period of navigation would be three months. I will read Captain Wakeham's opinion; I do not even know what it is and do not de-

sire to suppress anything. I quote from the report:
Captain Wakeham says that he agTees with Captain Gordon in fixing- the date for the opening of navigation !n Hudson strait for commercial purposes by suitable vessels at from the 1st to the 10th of July. I consider that navigation should close from the 15th to the 20th October.
That also would be only three months; that bears out the opinions which I have already quoted. But under all the circumstances, with these opinions varying as they do, I think it is fair to assume that year in and year out one could not even count upon three months of safe navigation. Indeed, you cannot, according to the opinion of the Deputy Minister of Trade and Commerce, count on any particular period when navigation is reasonably safe. But even if under the most favourable conditions ships can navigate through Hudson straits for three months of the year, while I am not a marine man and know very little about shipping or the cost of doing business of that kind, I question very much whether ships can be operated profitably on that route for such a short period of time. I question very much whether these vessels carrying grain to Europe would have a return cargo in any case; and if they are to be constructed so as to be in a position to navigate these straits in safety they must have a special construction which, I understand, reduces their carrying capacity something like twenty-five per cent and necessarily increases the freight cost.
That brings me to another point of supreme importance at this time; it has been mentioned by the Minister of Railways. Even if this road were built, even if it did relieve to some extent the situation in the West, and even if it did assist in the carrying out of the grain, although it would not carry out the grain in the same season in which it is produced, I believe it would show a tremendous deficit. Sir, we have come to the point where we do not want, with our eyes open, to increase the deficits that are now being shown by the National railways. Another reason why I would oppose this resolution is that I am one of the few members, counting members not only on this side but on the other side, who are favourably disposed towards public ownership of railways. The National railways are showing tremendous deficits and the fact of those deficits is being used day by day by those who are interested, and others, as an argument against public ownership; not fairly, in my opinion, and if we add to the National railways deliberately, railways which can show nothing but a deficit, then we are damning the cause of public ownership for a generation or two, and I for one would not like to see that. I believe, therefore, the continuance of the construction or * the completion of this road would be merely throwing good money after bad. It is of no particular consequence to me whether the construction of the road was begun or continued by a Liberal Government or a Conservative Government; in fact, I am inclined to think that both parties were perhaps playing a bit of politics as regards the western country, but I am not concerned with that. This House should now consider whether this road is in the interest of the people of Canada as a whole, whether it is going to be a paying proposition and if it is not, then we should cut it out without any consideration.
The hon. member for Nelson (Mr. Campbell) has thrown out a suggestion that there are special interests opposed to the construction of this railway. I do not know what he means by that, but I know he will believe me when I say that as regards myself, there is nothing of that kind at all. The opinions I have formed are from reading reports and public discussions and discussions in the press. I do -not claim to have any particular authority to speak on this question, but that is my opinion as I have given it. As I stated a moment ago, I am one of the few members of this House who are in favour of public ownership of railways; but if there is one road that I would like to see private interests take up and construct, it is the Hudson Bay railway. There is little likelihood of that, for private interests are too shrewd to entertain the thought. I wish the Government, instead of making the announcement that it is merely postponing construction, would state that the Hudson Bay railway cannot be considered a practical enterprise and that it is definitely abandoned.


Thomas Vien: Mr. Speaker, there are, in the resolution of my hon. friend (Mr. Campbell), two words which make the discussion of it more than an academic one. Those two words are to be found in the third line of the resolution which reads:
Should he resumed as early "this year" as possible.
What the hon. gentleman wants is that this House should commit itself to a recom-

mendation to the Government that this, work should be carried out this year. With that feature of the resolution, I am afraid I cannot agree. We understand clearly the objects which prompted the hon. gentleman and his friends from the Prairie Provinces in advocating the construction of the Hudson Bay railway. The farmers in this country wish to cheapen production and also to cheapen transportation, and in this respect, they are on sound economic grounds. If all the other industries of Canada would, like the farmers, try to cheapen production and also to cheapen transportation, such action would be greatly in the interest of the country. If the Government would develop our natural resources, and particularly our waterpowers, giving the latter as a grant to city industries, this would offset the necessity for protection of city industries, and would thereby facilitate this Government taking measures to protect the farming industry just as well as other industries of the country. But I do not believe the remedy advocated by the hon. gentleman would be of much avail in obtaining for people of the West the relief for which they are looking. We have in this country a vast system of railways, a considerable portion of which has been nationalized and is under Government control. Unfortunately, it has not been put to the best advantage to which it could be put. For instance, I think the Transcontinental railway is not taken full advantage of, and if the Government or the business managers of the Canadian National railways would look into the matter a bit more seriously I think they would find their way clear to assist the western farmers greatly in cheapening the transportation of their products and also in settling various problems which embarrass them in the marketing of their goods.
Many opinions have been cited already by previous speakers. I think nobody will question the authority of a great navigator who was also heard in the investigation on this matter. I speak of the Arctic explorer, Captain Bernier. What did he say, and he is corroborated by other witnesses who have already been quoted? Not only does he say that the navigation season by the Hudson bay route would be limited to three months, but he states that it would be impossible to use that route except with specially constructed ships. I quote from his evidence at page 39 of the report:
About the end of October dee comes down
and closes the straits so that after October there
[Hr. Vien.]
is danger of the iship meeting that old ice during a gale. It is very important that ships should be built especially for ice navigation. The Pram was built for ice navigation and survived. The Guss, afterward called the Arctic, is a ship that has done eleven years and is now as good as ever; also the Roosevelt. These ships were built especially for ice navigation, and they have stood the test, they have done their work, and they are .proofs that for navigating in Hudson hay and the Arctic ocean, where there lare .four different kinds of ice it is necessary to have ships especially built for ice navigation. It is a mistake-
I wish to emphasize this:
It is a mistake to send in tramp steamers. They may sometimes hit a piece of ice, and if it is old ice the ship is done for. The ship should be double-framed forward and have thicker plates.	.
As to the length of the navigation season Captain Bernier says:
I think, with properly constructed vessels, you could navigate from the 15th of June untii the 1st of November.
I doubt very much if in the face of these facts, established as they are by unquestionable evidence of navigators who know what they are talking about this House should recommend the Government to undertake at this juncture under the present financial conditions of the country further expenditure on this project. I would favour this project if it were clearly shown that it would relieve the situation for the western farmer, but I do not believe that it would afford him proper relief. After constructing the road, you would have to secure specially constructed ships to provide transportation from the end of the rails to the European ports. The argument has been made, and if it were sustained by sufficient evidence it would have some force that the natural resources of the district to be traversed by the Hudson Bay railway would more than offset the sinking fund and interest on the investment, but if we are to take the statement just given to the House by the Minister of Railways, my hon. friend is flatly contradicted in that respect. The minister has just told the House that he tried to put on a twice-a-week service.


John Archibald Campbell: It was not properly operated.


Thomas Vien: I should be very glad to
hear from the hon. member when he speaks again, anything which would justify me in changing my opinion, because I am absolutely in sympathy with the farming class of Western Canada in their efforts to cheapen the transportation cost of their products. But surely in the case of a

resolution involving such a large expenditure of money as this, we should look at the matter in the light of facts as established by unquestionable evidence.


John Archibald Campbell: The evidence is not
new.


Thomas Vien: I do not say that either
the argument or the evidence is new, but I belive that if the Minister of Railways had seen his way clear to paying operating expenses on that road he would have been anxious to please that section of the country because the Government have no sympathy to lose in the country at present, and if they could satisfy only one section of the country they would go to it right away. In view of the large railway deficits we have to meet this year, if the Minister of Railways had thought that the operation of this section of the road would have been a paying proposition, he would have taken advantage of the occasion and operated it so as to reduce the deficits, but he did not do it because he found out after his experiment that he could not even meet operating expenses. It may be possible that the hon. gentleman is right in saying that the road was not properly operated and that it did not traverse the country it should have, to get the traffic. It would be illuminating for the House and for the Minister of Railways to hear from the hon. gentleman on that point, but at the present time I do not think this House has sufficient evidence before it to show that the natural resources of the country to be traversed by that road would justify the expenditure. If it were otherwise, I would change my opinion, but even then there would always remain the question whether a three months' season of navigation, and of navigation that is impossible except with specially built ships, would justify the expenditure. For these two reasons I do not believe the House should be ready to express an opinion advocating any further expenditure on the road this year, and until such evidence as I have mentioned has been given, I am very sorry that I shall not be able to vote for the resolution.


John Flaws Reid: I just
wish to make a few observations on the resolution. First of all, I wish to quote a short extract from the evidence of Captain Bartlett of Polar fame. He says:
I would consider navigation on the Hudson bay route safe from the last of July to November, but ships constructed to contend with the ice and with a good ice pilot on board could navigate the bay from early in July until late in November.
I do not intend to discuss the feasibility of the water end of the Hudson bay route because I presume that is a matter that the Government settled before they launched on this enterprise. I understand that the late Minister of Railways himself went up to Port Nelson and selected that site.
I jotted down during the debate one or two items which I intended to bring to the attention of the Government. I had intended to ask what was their policy in regard to the Hudson Bay railway, but I need not ask that question now, because I have already been informed on that point by the Minister of Railways. I gather from what he says that even if he had the money, he would rather build other lines of railway, so I take it for granted that the policy of the Government is that the Hudson Bay project is a dead letter. To my knowledge this Hudson Bay project has been a political football at general elections in this country since 1882. I very well remember seeing in the city of Winnipeg in 1882 big placards to this effect "Vote	for Captain	Scott,	who will
build	the Hudson Bay railway."
Now, Captain Scott is dead and gone to his reward, and the Hudson Bay Railway project is still a political football, and I have not the slightest doubt that this Government is keeping this football in readiness for the next general election. I do not intend to take up much more time of the House. While the member for Nelson (Mr. Campbell) was speaking, it occurred to me that if he were a supporter of the Government and if his constituency were opened up in order that he might become a Cabinet minister, the Hudson Bay railway would be built.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Promised.


John Flaws Reid: Yes, of course. Now, when the Government required a Cabinet minister in Victoria the people there got a dry dock; and when they required a minister in St. John, what did the people get? Why, an expenditure for this year of $1,835,000. The simple fact is that the hon. member for Nelson is on the wrong side of the House. He ought to have got into the Cabinet, and then we should have had the Hudson Bay railway. However, it is too late now. We find that the Canadian Pacific Railway have obtained a charter- I think it was last session-running into Cumberland House. There is no doubt, in my mind, that the Canadian Pacific Railway, that energetic and successfully-managed transportation company, is heading

for the Hudson bay, and it is quite probable that it will get there first. My hon. friend, the Minister of Railways, tells us that the Welland ship canal will give relief in the West long before the Hudson Bay railway, but it will take a long time to complete that canal down to tide water at Montreal. I think, therefore, I am justified in coming to the conclusion that so far as this Government is concerned the Hudson Bay railway is a dead letter. However, as I said before, and repeat now, the people of the West will speak for themselves at the forthcoming general election.


Mr. E. W. NESBITT (North Oxford) :: I should be very glad if the conclusion of my hon. friend (Mr. Reid) were correct; so far as this Government is concerned I hope they will not build the Hudson Bay railway. My hon. friend declares that this railway has been a political football for a number of years. Well, I cannot conceive how that railway could be mooted, unless it were for political purposes, to be made a political football of. The first report we ever had that I know of on the feasibility of navigation in the straits was by a man named Gordon, appointed by the Sir John Macdonald government, who put parties at certain points along the straits and left them there for a year, had the ice measured, and had a look-out as to the time that the straits were navigable. They were exchanged each year. I am speaking now from memory and probably may be wrong, but I believe that in 1896, or 1895, when the Liberal government came into power, these parties were discontinued. The report is most interesting and shows clearly that the straits are not navigable for more than three months of the year-that is to say, of course, reasonably and safely navigable. The captain who has generally gone up with Government ships through the straits and to the bay for the last few years has told me time and again that it would be necessary to keep two dredges working all the time while the water is open in order to clear the harbour at Port Nelson of the silt that washes down from the long stretch of river. If that be the case, and I think it is, any member of this House can calculate for himself what that would cost per year. Then we should have to build elevators if we were to ship wheat through that route, and if we could ship only three or four months of the year, hon. gentlemen will see for themselves what the proposition means. Navigation closes about the first of November, and we all know 
that we do not get any great quantity of crops from the West in a condition to ship much before that time. It would therefore be necessary to carry crops over until the next year. Some of us at least have an idea what it could cost to carry over that grain in elevators for a year in the form of interest and waste.


John Flaws Reid: They do that
now at Fort William.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: It is said they do that
now at Fort William, but they have the opportunity to move it by rail if they want to, and in this case they would have no such opportunity. I believe it is an established fact, so far as investigation has demonstrated, that you would have to build a particular class of ships for this navigation-to navigate for how long? For three or four months of the year. You would require to have an expensive class of ships, wooden breasted, with a short range, capable of turning quickly in the ice jams, to get clear of the floes. These ships could not possibly compete on other routes with the steel ships built now for carrying grain. They would cost a great deal, purely and simply for three or four months' navigation. They would take out, in the summer months of 1921, wheat harvested in 1920, and in the meantime it would have to be carried over in elevators. I do not believe that it would be possible to reduce the cost of transportation one particle by the Hudson Bay route, and that is why I am opposed to this proposal. As to the feasibility of building the railway from the financial point of view, I absolutely agree with the Minister of Railways that it would be suicidal in the present state of our railway problem to add to the difficulties with which we are already burdened. We can hardly comprehend what this country is up against in the present railway problem.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: It is no fault, let me
say, of the present Government.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh!


Edward Walter Nesbitt: Not a bit. They were
forced into these conditions. As a Liberal I went out on the platform in 1904 and advocated the building of the Transcontinental, and if I gained any votes by so doing then I ought to be arrested and put into jail.


Mr. HOCKEN:: We will give you a
pardon.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: It was a horrible mistake, in my judgment. As a Liberal, I voted in this House for the guaranteeing of the bonds of the Canadian Northern from Port Arthur to Montreal. Again let me say that if that vote had helped to guarantee those bonds I ought to be, not arrested, but executed, because there was built a line of railway that was absolutely unnecessary in this country. That is one of the positions in which we find ourselves at the present time. Why have we been obMged to take over the Grand Trunk? Because we owned a great mileage of railways without any feeders and with one end practically sticking up in the air. The Transcontinental railway, the Intercolonial, the Grand Trunk Pacific, and the Canadian Northern were lines without feeders. We are taking over the Grand Trunk Railway which practically touches every hamlet in Ontario and the probabilities are that if properly and capably managed the system will eventually assist in reducing the cost of operating railways in this country. The railway question in Canada is now of such a nature that I would like to see a committee of the House, representative of all parties appointed to thoroughly investigate every phase of the situation and, if possible, endeavour to find a solution of the problem. For it is a problem; and when hon. gentlemen get up here and blame the present Government for the position in which this country now is with respect to railways they are only doing so from political motives. Personally, I am not talking from a political standpoint.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, no.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: My hon. friends opposite need not laugh and jeer.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: As a matter of fact,
business matters should not be discussed from a party standpoint; I never look at them in that way myself. We are supposed to be business men in this House. Whether that is true or not, and regardless of whatever party is in power, I want to see the country governed in a businesslike way and not in accordance with politics. I care nothing about the getting of votes. I do not like to pretend to advocate something merely because it is popular, and nobody in this House can accuse me of doing anything of that kind during the time I have had a seat here. I was surprised and sorry to hear my hon. friend who has just taken his seat (Mr. Reid, Mackenzie), suggest that there was politics behind this project, and that the road would be built if there was a by-election going on in the West. That may be true, I am not saying it is not, but what I maintain is that politics should not be interjected into the discussion of a business matter in this House. Projects of this kind should be discussed absolutely and purely from a business standpoint; and if any hon. member can prove that the Hudson Bay railway will be a paying enterprise for this country I will vote for it no matter what the ordinary expenditure will be. But I do not believe that such a thing can be proved. I do not believe it is possible to derive a paying revenue from the Hudson Bay railway in the life time of any man in this House.
Therefore, as we now have deficits in the operation of our railways amounting to probably fifty or sixty million dollars, without counting the interest on the investment, we may just as well make up our minds, so far as the railways are concerned, to face the situation. The first phase of the situation we have to face is this: We must ask the labour unions and the railway unions to get together themselves and reduce the cost of railway transportation so that railway rates can be lowered in Canada. Because the rates now charged on the Canadian railways, both freight and express, are such as to render it impossible to make a business enterprise succeed. We have to face the situation and the quicker the railway unions themselves recognize that fact the better it will be. They must recognize the fact that if they do not get together and agree to reduce the wages that are now being paid by the railway companies they will kill the goose that lays the golden egg, because the companies will be forced to cut the railway services to such an extent that thousands of men will be turned out of employment. I repeat that we may just as well face the situation. It is up to this House no less than to the Government of Canada-because we are all in a sense part of the governing body-to face the situation. It is up to this House to see that the transportation charges of this country are in some manner reduced. The wages that the railway companies are now paying under the McAdoo award are impossible if we are ever going to lower the cost of transportation. When any business man in Canada ascertains what the freight rates to Vancouver or to Calgary are he will be astonished. If he is not astonished then it is not possible to astonish him. The railway rates must be reduced



in order to lower the cost of living in this country. These charges affect the price of every article that enters into the cost of living no matter what it may be. Let me repeat, hon. members may just as well quit playing politics and get down to business. They may as well face the situation and in some way find the means of making these railways reduce their operating expenses, and thus bring about a reduction in the cost of transportation.	[DOT]


Mr. THOMAS HAY (Selkirk) :: I wish to say a word on this subject before the close of the present debate which is of very great importance, at any rate to Western Canada. I do not agree with some of the remarks made by the last speaker, particularly his statement that even were this line then completed it would not be possible to take out the grain crop of 1921 over the route. I think that is a mistaken impression, an impression that a great many people in Canada entertain at the present time with respect to the Hudson bay route. I believe that the great bulk of the grain crop of Western Canada could be shipped through this route the very year it was grown. We know, particularly those of us from the West, that this has been one of the established trade routes between the Old Country and Western Canada for something like two hundred and fifty years. During that long space of time the straits and the bays have been navigated, often by vessels of a very antiquated type, and with very few accidents indeed. I maintain, and I think I am safe in making the statement, that in the case of the type of vessels especially designed for a route of this kind, there would be no difficulty in navigating Hudson straits for a period of perhaps five months in the year. The bay itself is accessible for a much longer period of time; the difficulty about navigation is on account of the ice that accumulates in the straits. I do not, however, agree with the mover of the resolution that it is wise to commit, the Government to the expenditure of so many millions of dollars in advance of the provision of other facilities. I do not think there would be very much use, for example, in completing the railway unless good terminals were provided. There is very little traffic of a local nature along that line, consequently its completion to the bay would be of very little use to the people of Western Canada unless the harbour was also completed. Therefore I do not think it would be wi$e in the face of our present financial difficulties and the deficits on our national railway system to 
commit the Government at this time to a further expenditure of $10,000,000 or $15,000,000 in connection with this work. But I do want to say that I am in favour of the completion at the earliest possible moment of the Hudson Bay railway and terminals, because I am satisfied that the proper development of Western Canada rests largely upon that completion. Therefore I would urge upon the Government the necessity as soon as financial conditions permit of doing something to complete this railway. In view of the reasons given, Mr. Speaker, I beg to move the following amendment:
That all the words after the word "railway" in the second line of the resolution be struck out and that the following be substituted in lieu thereof: "shall be resumed as soon as financial conditions permit, and that the project be completed with the least possible delay."


Mr. F. L. DAVIS (Neepawa) :: Mr. Speaker, as a Westerner I can remember taking part in an election in the city of Winnipeg in 1886 in which this Hudson bay railway question was the foremost issue. We then had the promise that the rails were on the ocean, telegrams to that effect being produced from the Cumberland Steel company,-which afterwards proved to be forgeries. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. This railway was started by the Laurier Government. It is not going to be finished by the Meighen Government; that is quite evident. This Government has fiddled along with this proposition until some of us have ceased to dance to the music. I have in mind a meeting of a delegation with the Minister of Railways (Mr. Reid), which was highly amusing to some of us western members. He first gave us as a reason why the road could not then be continued that it was then impossible to buy rails. Well, information that had been widely disseminated from a world-wide known firm of New York brokers was produced showing that rails could be bought in unlimited numbers at $64.50 a ton. This information surprised the Minister of Railways and he shifted ground; he told us that even if rails could be got ties were not obtainable. It was then the month of March, 1919, and of course ties were got out in the winter, so we could not get them. Another setback occurred to the minister-a member produced from his pocket tenders to get out a quarter of a million ties and have them on the road by July. We were then told by the minister what to western men was the most surprising thing of all,

that all railway contractors had dismantled their outfits in the past five years, and that a track-laying outfit could not be got on the road in time to do anything in 1919. For the benefit of those who have not seen a track-laying outfit, I may say that it is a flat car with a little derrick at one end and attached to it are half a dozen other flat cars with conveyers bolted on their sides on which are carried the ties and rails to be laid. Under pressure any railway contractor would put one together in twenty-four hours, and quite leisurely in six days, so as to be ready for use on the road. Then the minister tried to tell us that this Government was really in earnest in its intention to build this railway. If we went away dissatisfied and incredulous, do you blame us?
Now, perhaps that sort of experience has something to do with the dissatisfaction in the West to-day with regard to the building of this railway. I will say here and now that if we were beginning this enterprise and involving ourselves in an expenditure of $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 I would unhesitatingly condemn it, for I yield to no man in the House in my desire for economy. But when we see the Minister of Finance (Sir Henry Drayton) bringing down a Budget which involved a deficit of $50,000,000 to $100,000,000, and expenditures being made, as the hon. member for Mackenzie (Mr. Reid) has stated, for purely political purposes, I think the West has a right to look to this long deferred hope of seeing the railway completed. It is a matter now of an expenditure of $3,000,000 or $4,000,000, and not of $20,000,000 or $25,000,000. And remember, the funds have been provided and are ear marked in the sales of pre-empted lands-$28,000,000, without counting the interest, was provided to look after the financing of this proposition.
At this stage of the matter I am not going to argue that the straits are navigable. That question was looked into by the Government before the project was entered upon, and we have acted upon their judgment. So I will take that question as concluded. Now, it is a question of using what we have got there or else seeing it rot-of preserving it from destruction and making some small use of it-and of finding out whether the resources of the bay and the country that would be opened up are worth an expenditure of $3,000,000 or $4,000,000.
Last year, with two other members of this House, I was out in that country half
way from Norway House to Hudson bay. There are great areas of pulpwood. True, the trees are not large, for the country seems to have been burned over within the last forty or fifty years, but with proper fire regulations there is a pulpwood industry available for development. We crossed fifty to one hundred miles of clay belt. There is a clay belt on the Hudson bay railway 100 to 125 miles wide very similar to the land in which Cochrane lies and capable of future development. Only last night I was talking to one of our geological men, and he said:	Climb a hill in any part
of that country and it looks as though quite half of the expanse that is disclosed to view is water. The waters of all those lakes swarm with fish. At one portage a ground sheet eight feet square was let down a foot or two into the water and lifted up again, and the whitefish were so thick that four of them were brought up on that sheet. The waters there teem with char or lake trout. There is a big local industry available all along the lakes and rivers contiguous to that railway. There is no reason to doubt-indeed there is every reason to expect, from the reports that Mr. Stef-ansson brought back of life in our northern waters-that the fisheries of the bay will at least equal the fisheries of Labrador, which are among the best in the world. By the carrying out of the Hudson Bay railway project these fisheries will be opened up and will offer traffic.
Now, the criticism has been made that the road is not yielding any return. Well, if you run a road three hundred miles into a wilderness and end it nowhere, what return can you expect from it? The country there is still a wilderness; the road after it leaves the Pas does not serve any settlement. There is a possibility of industrial and mining development along the route, but it will not come until the railway has been constructed. These are the grounds, then, upon which it is sensible to urge the completion of that road. To sum up, we are expending moneys that are not productive. Any expenditure for the completion of this road promises to be productive. We are expending large sums which go to make up our present deficit. If it is practicable to make expenditures on propositions which are new, which have been taken up since the Hudson Bay railway was started, surely it is wise to spend moneys which have been ear-marked and really provided for this venture. If it is contended that by so doing -we would be seeking to develop a country that is if no use, then we might just as

well say that we have already developed the portion of Canada which is of use, and that we should forget all our foolish talk about natural resources and about the possibility of a great future for Canada.


William Findlay Maclean: Mr. Speaker, the trend which.the discussion has taken and the amendment which has been offered enable me to bring the House one or two thoughts which, I think, are worthy of consideration. The first has been presented to this House to-day by every speaker in the debate and is being presented in the country by almost every newspaper and on every platform; and organizations are at work throughout the country to promulgate and promote the idea-that the Government is under great financial obligations now by reason of its railway deficits, I grant that, Mr. Speaker, and I agree with what the Minister of Railways (Mr. Reid) said here to-day. But the thing that impresses me in this connection is; how long are these deficits unnecessarily to continue? We are running four systems of railways in this country to-day, outside of the Canadian Pacific. We have the Intercolonial-[DOT] and it is called a . system; we have the Transcontinental-and it is mentioned as a system, one whose operation has been attended by enormous deficits-*


Mr. DEPUTY SPEAKER:: I do not
want to interrupt the hon. member. He has not yet gone very far from the subject, but I do want to direct the attention of the House to the fact that under the resolution now before the House I do not think it would be in order for hon. members entirely to forget the Hudson Bay railway and to discuss deficits on the Government-owned railways.


William Findlay Maclean: I am
coming to that, Mr. Speaker. We have all these deficits, and what I want to point out is that we must stop them. We have all these systems of railways, and it is incumbent upon the Government-and I believe they recognize their duty in that regard- to put an end to these deficits by a great consolidation and co-ordination of these different systems-practising economics, stopping unnecessary duplication of lines and services of all kinds. When you do that, these deficits will begin to end. I hope, therefore, that we will soon have an early discussion of this whole matter. I was somewhat disappointed to-day when the Minister of Railways did not set a day for the discussion that he said it was intended to have on this question. I hope he will

let us all know when that discussion is to take place, and that an effort will be made this session to put an end to the unnecessary deficits which are impressing the people and prejudicing them against public ownership of the railways that we now have.
As to this particular question of opening up the Hudson Bay route, I agree that the road has been promised and that an effort ought to be made to complete it. * It may not be the proper thing to do it just now; the minister has given fair reason why the matter ought to be deferred. The mover of the amendment has offered a still better reason, and I intend to vote for that amendment. But the thing that impresses me most of all is the necessity for giving attention to these deficits, and I hope that we shall soon have a statement from the Government that a consolidation of the railway systems which have been taken over will soon be under way.


Mr. C. E. LONG (tforth Battleford) :: Mr. Speaker, I wish to say just a few words in regard to this proposal, which is one of interest to every western man, especially to those of us who are farmers. I attended a great number of meetings of the Senate committee that was appointed to investigate the possibilities of the Hudson Bay Railway project, and one thing I noticed in connection with the work of that committee was the great interest taken in the proceedings by the hon. member for Nelson (Mr. Campbell). I do not suppose that any proposal which has come before the House has received such undivided attention on the part of the hon. member as this one did. Certainly, if any of us have interfered in any way with the ultimate success of the hon. member's undertakings, it is not because we lack respect or appreciation of the efforts he has put forth in bringing the matter to the attention of the Government.
I rather resented, Mr. Speaker, the closing remarks of the hon. member for Nelson; they convinced me rather more than anything else of the lack of strength in all his previous arguments. Some reference has been made by other speakers to the Hudson Bay Railway project being used as a political football. I have been watching political events from the western viewpoint more or less closely for the last couple of years, and I seemed to see in my hon. friend's closing remarks that one reflection which we all resent in the handling of political questions-that because some of us

dared in the past to oppose the immediate construction of the Hudson Bay railway to Port Nelson, we were under the insidious influence of some great interest; our hands were tied; we were unable to show the reasons for our opposition to the policy which my hon. friend has enunciated in his resolution. Well, that is one thing that would tear me from my seat in the rear portion of this House quicker than anything else, because I realize that I got into trouble with some of my former friends because I dared to refuse to sign a certain petition calling upon the Government immediately to engage in the construction of the Hudson Bay railway to Port Nelson.
I am very sorry that the member for Prince Albert (Mr. Knox), closed his remarks with very much the same inference-that we were under the influence of eastern interests. I want, from my place in the House, to refute the allegation just as strongly as I can, and I think, in doing so, I voice the opinion of my fellow members on this side of the House. On the other hand, I can perhaps excuse my hon. friends for that inadvertent attack upon our parliamentary standards, because I know, from what I have seen, that they are becoming overly engrossed with the political success of their movement, although I must say that I am very sorry to see them using such means to further their object.
I attended the meetings of the committee last year, and I have certain reasons for stating that we should not proceed immediately with the construction of the railway from Kettle rapids to Port Nelson. I must confess that, as a farmer, I have become more or less selfish, and we farmers may be excused for becoming somewhat that way. So 'I acknowledge that one great reason why we, as western farmers, want the railway constructed is because it will give us a shorter route to Europe. It has been used as an argument on many public platforms that it would be a shorter route, and, therefore, naturally more economical, but from what I have read in the committee's report, that is not a proper conclusion to draw.
A few points came out, not so much in the report, as in the investigation, which would show that Nelson harbour, as a harbour, would be absolutely without success as regards transatlantic traffic. The expense necessary to put that harbour into condition for transatlantic traffic is so great that I do not think we are justified in going ahead with the work. One engineer stated that it would require the removal of about 7,000,000 cubic yards of dirt before transatlantic ships would be able to approach that island which those who favour the project speak of as their terminal facility. The price of removing that dirt would be almost one dollar per cubic yard, so that there you have in one item alone an expenditure of $7,000,000 necessary for the removal of dirt. That is of very great importance and one of the things that have not been brought to the attention of our western farmers when these matters have been discussed. The harbour itself is of such a questionable character that it is very doubtful whether I could, at the present time, support the resolution of the hon. member.
I wish to read a few extracts from a certain article appearing in a paper which claims to have a superior class of literature in its columns. I will read this because it gives the conclusion which I arrived at after attending many meetings of the committee. Referring to Henry Hudson it says:
In the original tragedy only half a dozen or bo of men suffered. In the modern tragedy-
Referring to the building of the Hudson Bay railway.
__being enacted in the clay-mud at Nelson
harbour, the entire 8,000,000 people of Canada are to suffer untold burdens of taxation, because of the wanton and criminal waste of money going on there in a weak and futile attempt to make a harbour in the mud flats, while a perfectly good rock-bottom harbour exists at Fort Churchill, 180 miles north, by water, 100 miles north by land.
Then it goes on to speak of the project as political jobbery. It says:
Aside from the cost of the railway line, almost, if not quite, $10,000,000 has been expended in the harbour mud, and it will, require twenty years to build a harbour there, if it is at all possible, and will .require constant and heavy dredging to keep it clear of the millions of cubic yards of clay carried down by the river annually. It shows the utter criminal disregard of "the present Government for the vital interests of over one-half of the Dominion, which could be beneficially served by this splendid national highway.
That is rather a severe condemnation of this Government in proceeding with the construction of the Hudson Bay railway. I rather think I would agree with that conclusion, were those the facts, but what appears	to me to be	a	difficult	taskthis	afternoon	is	to	make	that
statement coincide with the attitude taken by hon. members opposite in regard to the same matter. They criticized this Government for not going ahead and building the

road. This magazine, which I understand assumes a superior position in regard to matters of advice, claims that it is a crime to go ahead with this project. Therefore, I certainly cannot be accused of wrong-doing if I am confused in forming an opinion in regard to this matter. The writer, a man by the name of Bert Huffman-


Mr. THOMPSON (Yukon) :: What is the name of the magazine?


Charles Edwin Long: Wait a bit. If I told you
now, you might leave the room. The writer goes on to say:
I am not writing this in political bitterness or prejudice. I did not walk from Kettle rapids to Port Nelson and back, 190 miles, for the fun of the thing. I am a producing farmer, owning a fine farm within twenty miles of Calgary, and I am interested in transportation from the standpoint of a western farmer, and I am also interested more deeply as a Canadian citizen, in seeing this splendid national project made a permanent, beneficial property, for the Canadian people rather than to see it bungled by political manipulation into a perpetual curse and bill of expense.
That is precisely the conclusion that I arrived at as regards Nelson harbour. There are many more things that might be said about the matter, but I must not occupy more of the time of the House. That article appeared on the 14th July, 1920, in a magazine known as the Grain Growers' Guide. I believe the conclusions whidh that gentleman arrived at in his personal investigation of the situation at that harbour are about what one would arrive at if he had followed as carefully as the hon. member for Nelson and myself did the evidence given before the Senate committee. My position at the present time is this: I place great emphasis on the third recommendation of the Senate committee which reads:
That in the opinion of this committee sufficient care was not taken in the selection of Nelson as the terminus of the railway, and that the Government should not make further important expenditures upon this port without first making a new and thorough examination into the relative merits of Churchill and Nelson as a terminus for the railroad.
It appears to me, Mr. Speaker, that if this road is built to Nelson, so far as the transatlantic feature of the road is concerned it will be an absolute failure. A very good friend, supposed to be, at any rate, of the policy of nationalization of railways, the hon. member for Mackenzie (Mr. Reid), called the attention of this House, inadvertently perhaps, to the fact that the Canadian Pacific Railway was now endeavouring to get an outlet on Hudson

bay. I agree with him, but the Canadian Pacific railway is not heading for Nelson. If I am not mistaken they are looking to Churchill harbour, and from what little I know I would advise this Government, if they are going to the bay at all to make at once for Churchill harbour. Therein is the only hope of our western farmers obtaining a prbfitable outlet through the bay to the markets of the world. For that reason, I take the stand that I must certainly oppose the resolution that has been presented by the hon. member for Nelson.


Hon. T. A. CRERAR (Marquette) :: Mr. Speaker, I think in the few minutes that remain before six o'clock I can say what I wish to say upon this question. I am very largely in agreement with the hon. member for North Battleford (Mr. Long), who has just spoken. There is no doubt of the fact that the building of the Hudson Bay railway has been a very live question in Western Canada for a great many years. The opinion of the people of that portion of the Dominion on this question may have been right or may have been wrong, but back of it lay a strong desire to take advantage of the fact that the greatest inland sea in the world brought its tide water within five or six hundred miles of the centre of the great wheat producing areas of the western prairies. The fact that Churchill is but little further from Liverpool than is Montreal is a striking reason for the faith of the West in the project.
There are undoubtedly strong differences of opinion as to the practicability and feasibility of the ocean route from Churchill or Nelson to Liverpool, but I am convinced that perhaps not in our day, but ultimately, this route will become one of the great trade routes of the world. Unquestionably, great aids to navigation are being discovered almost every year, and I do not think it is too great a stretch of the imagination to conceive that this great natural highway will be utilized in very large measure to carry the commerce of America and Europe.
There is also tjie question of the development of the natural resources that lie along this railway. They are very great, both in pulpwood and minerals, as recent discoveries have shown, and that factor itself might justify the building of the road even if it were a little ahead of its time.
I am in cordial agreement with my hon. friend from North Battleford as to the mistake that was made in making Nelson the terminus. I think a huge mistake was made when this was done, and if it is defi-

nitely settled that Nelson is to be the terminal point, an annual expenditure of a large sum of money will be required to keep it in shape for the harbourage of vessels.
However, I am bound to say this, that in the consideration of this whole question we must be governed at the present time by one fact largely, and that is the present financial condition of this country, and it is for that reason I cannot bring myself to support the motion of my hon. friend from Nelson (Mr. Camjjbell) whose thought I know is very much bound up in this matter. I think, moreover, that no very great harm will come from postponing for a year or two further expenditure on this road until we can get our financial condition in this country cleared up. We have seen by the Estimates that have been brought down recently the vast expenditures that are called for; we know that the burden of taxation will rest very heavily on the Canadian people for a great many years, and the imperative duty lying before this Parliament, so far as the finances of the country are concerned, is to bring our expenditure within our income, and that at the earliest possible moment. I believe this road will ultimately become a great highway, and if the financial situation of the country warranted the expenditure, I would be disposed to support the motion, but on account of the considerations I have mentioned I think it is well to postpone further expenditure for the present. I think the amendment moved by my hon. friend from Selkirk (Mr. Hay) pretty well meets the needs of the situation at the present time.
Amendment (Mr. Hay) agreed to.


Georges Henri Boivin: The question is now on the main motion as amended.


John Archibald Campbell: I have a few words
to say but as it is six o'clock I would move the adjournment of the debate.


Arthur Meighen: I submit, Mr. Speaker, that an hon. member who has spoken to the resolution cannot move the adjournment of the debate.


William Stevens Fielding: But he has the right to close the debate.


Arthur Meighen: He may have the right to close the debate but not to move the adjournment thereof.


Georges Henri Boivin: The hon.
member for Nelson (Mr. Campbell) has the right to close the debate but before he speaks it is my duty to advise all other
hon. members who have not yet spoken upon the resolution that the hon. member is about to exercise that right and that if they desire to speak, they must do so now.


Arthur Meighen: But the hon. member cannot move the adjournment of the debate.


William Stevens Fielding: It being six o'clock
there is no need for him to move the adjournment.


Georges Henri Boivin: It is a very
unusual proceeding for an hon. member who is closing a debate upon a substantive motion which he has introduced to move the adjournment of that debate, but I am under the impression that this has previously been done. The hon. member may prefer to speak now.


John Archibald Campbell: Do I understand that my remarks will be in the way of closing the debate?


Georges Henri Boivin: The hon.
member cannot speak without closing the debate. The substantive resolution as amended is all that now remains before the House.


William Stevens Fielding: If the hon. member desires to make a few remarks, there is no objection but otherwise as it is six o'clock, the House must adjourn.


Georges Henri Boivin: Does the hon. member desire to close the debate now or wait until the House meets again?


Arthur Meighen: If I may speak to the point of order, I would point out that the motion to adjourn requires a seconder. The very fact that it requires a seconder seems to debar the hon. member from making that motion because no other hon. member can rise to second the motion. Although it is of no great importance in this debate, I do not think it would be a good rule to establish that an hon. member closing a debate can move its adjournment.


William Findlay Maclean: What is the
motion before the House?


Georges Henri Boivin: The resolution submitted by the hon. member for Nelson (Mr. Campbell) as amended by the hon. member for Selkirk (Mr. Hay). The hon. member for Nelson now desires to move the adjournment of the debate in order that he may make his reply when the House meets again. That motion, the legality of which is questioned by the right hon. the Prime Minister, is not necessary as one of the rules provides that if at six o'clock on Wed-

\
nesday, a motion on the Order Paper is under consideration, that question shall stand first on the Order Paper of the following day. I think there is considerable force in the point raised by the right hon. the Prime Minister that an hon. member who is closing a debate has no right to move its adjournment owing to the fact that no other hon. member has the right to take the floor for the purpose of seconding the
motion. If obliged to do so without further consideration, I would feel disposed to so rule, but at this time, the motion to adjourn the debate is quite unnecessary.


John Archibald Campbell: I prefer to take your suggestion, Mr. Speaker, and call it six o'clock.
At six o'clock the House adjourned pursuant to rule.
